Rob Beckett says he was thrown off Peter Crouch’s BBC show set after getting too drunk at Euros
COMEDIAN Rob Beckett was booted off the set of Peter Crouch’s BBC1 show for being too drunk after his tear-up at England v Germany.
The funnyman, 35, went viral after he sunk ten pints and M&S cocktails with fellow comic Lloyd Griffith, 37, for the iconic Round of 16 game.
After leaving the game he turned up unannounced at the filming of Crouchy’s Year-Late Euros Live filmed close-by “to avoid the crowds” but producers, initially glad to see an unplanned surprise guest, quickly changed tact.
Rob told The Sun: “We were too drunk to go on the telly.
“I had to apologise because I was ordering beers through rehearsal while they were trying to make their show.
“They asked me to leave before it started, which I thought was a good decision.
“I texted Peter Crouch to say sorry.”
Leaving the studio he jumped on the Tube, documenting his journey on video at 10pm saying: “I’m f***ed out of my head but it’s the greatest night of my life”.
He documented his 12 hour session on social media, and says fans have
been in touch with him since concerned about his welfare.
The Sky One star, whose hit series with comedy partner Romesh Ranganathan - Rob Versus Romesh - returns next Thursday (July 8) with Team GB and Wimbledon themes, added: “It’s like I wasn’t famous until the night I put the videos up.
