Frankie Boyle has defended his joke about raping and killing TV host Holly Willoughby.
During his performance at Latitude Festival last weekend, the Scots comic referenced a game about 'killing and sh*****g people', which included This Morning host Holly. According to reports, Boyle told the crowd: "I’d obviously kill her and rape her afterwards. I’m joking, I’d rape her first."
The controversial comedian defended the comment yesterday when he was asked about it at a book launch, Mail Online reports. Boyle said: "Can I just say, my routine about raping and f*****g Holly Willoughby was part of a very long routine about whether or not it’s okay to do a joke about that, and I look at it from both sides, there are pluses and minuses."
