Les Dennis' disgusting habit leaves Would I Lie To You fans horrified

Would I Lie To You viewers were left disgusted by an admission from Les Dennis on Friday night.

As ever, the show saw members of two teams tell the other group anecdotes, with their opponents having to decide whether they were true, or a lie. Hosts Lee Mack and David Mitchell were joined by celebrity guest Les Dennis, Richard Osman, Alice Levine and Lou Sanders.

Fans of the show were left horrified when a story from Les Dennis turned out to be true. The Garston-born actor and comedian was on Lee Mack's team.

He revealed that he keeps his fingernail clippings to use instead of toothpicks. He said toothpicks "don't have the hook". Unfortunately, the story turned out to be true, though the show did see 68-year-old promise to never do it again.

Viewers were appalled. Taking to Twitter, Sibella Holland said: "Me hearing that Les Dennis fingernail story", adding a gif that reads: "Oh God please! No, please no!"

Gerard Mackay said: "I think most of us remember the Les Dennis fingernails one is true, even if we have tried to forget." Sam Craig said: "Les Dennis's nail clippings story is going to haunt my nightmares for a while I think", while Lauren Downes said he was "dirty".
