Michael McIntyre reveals neighbour row at £10m London mansion

Michael McIntyre has told fans about a row with neighbours at his £10 million London mansion.

The comedian, 49, owns an expensive pad in Hampstead - but it appears he’s getting rather agitated by his neighbours’ playing music.

“I have had a little thing with them [neighbours] already when they played very loud music in the garden and I did not want to complain,” he told an audience at Soho Theatre, according to The Sun.

But McIntyre - who was performing a warm-up show to his upcoming Hello America! tour in the US - came up with a clever solution to the problem.

“I played the same song they were playing at a slightly different time just to f*** them off,” he said.

“It is a good idea.”

He further joked: “This is what British people do.

“They will try to deal with s*** without confrontation.”

Michael also recently revealed he has started taking weight loss jabs, following encouragement from his wife Kitty.

"Have you noticed how tiny I am? I have lost weight,” the Sun also report he told another of his shows.

“Don’t applaud it because there is a little bit of cheating that has gone on. The doctor told me I weighed 100kg.

“He told me I was ‘obese’. How rude. He said, ‘It’s a medical term'.”

Earlier this year, the comedian had a slightly awkward run-in with Martin Brundle - who revealed he won’t be changing his schedule to appear on Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel.

The F1 broadcaster and former racing driver caught up with McIntyre at the Monaco Grand Prix, during one of his famous pre-race grid walks.

And in their chat, Brundle revealed that he had been asked to go on The Wheel — even though he was not entirely sure what the show was called.

"Your people invited me onto your show with the circle," Brundle told McIntyre.

"The show with the circle? It's called The Wheel!”

McIntyre responded: “I think a Formula 1 driver should know what a wheel is... That is not a circle, it's called a wheel."

He then asked Brundle personally on the show, but it was still a no — for now, at least.

"Why don't you come on The Wheel?" McIntyre asked.

However, Brundle said filming in the summer clashed with his busy F1 schedule.

He explained: "Because I can't do it, it's in June.”

However, he added that he will do it one day, adding: “I've got to do some other things, but one day I will."
