The Masked Singer's Mo Gilligan's hilarious comeback to troll who mocked his comedy

Mo Gilligan had a hilariously savage comeback to a troll who mocked his comedy skills.

The Masked Singer panellist, who made his name as a stand-up comedian, was arguing with a Twitter user who said he wasn't funny on the ITV show.

He responded to one of the troll's jibes with a GIF, which they used to make another dig about his humour.

They said: "You're gonna have to get some material soon. You can't rely on gifs for your stand up set."

So Mo, 32, decided to snap a black and white picture of himself holding up the BAFTA that he earned from those very comedy skills.

He pretended to be on the phone to his agent to discuss the troll's words of advice.

Mo had a serious look on his face as he held the phone up with his left hand and clutched the BAFTA with the right.

The comedian tweeted: "Yeah cancel the gifs for the world tour Fact check Phil is onto us."

The tweet left his followers in stitches, with one replying: "That really cracked me up!!"

"Man took a pic with the BAFTA," another posted alongside three laughing emojis.

A third said: "You're bloody funny, f**k the haters haha."

Mo joined The Mask Singer panel for the second series, which began on Boxing Day 2020.

He joins Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Rita Ora who work together to guess which celebrity is hiding behind the costume.

This week they unmasked The Grandfather Clock.

*The Masked Singer airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV
