TalkTV in chaos as host threatens to 'drag' TikTok prankster Mizzy 'out by the hair'

TalkTV host Andre Walker threw TikTok tearaway Mizzy off his show after he was accused of giving a fellow guest a ‘threatening look’.

The outspoken presenter threw his papers in the air after losing his rag with the social media star, whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro.

Mizzy is known for pranking people on the streets of Stoke Newington, north London, where he lives.

But neighbours have complained they fear going out after the 18-year-old trespassed in people’s homes – which he got arrested and fined for.

He was also accused of stealing a woman’s dog, pestering train passengers and entering a man's car claiming it is his Uber.

Further complaints include unsolicited approaches made towards members of the public in the street - with footage showing him asking them if they "want to die".

His troublesome antics – which he posted on TikTok and YouTube – led to him being banned from social media.

He was invited on TalkTV as a guest to talk about his viral status as ‘the UK’s biggest prank star’.

But host Andre took issue at the way Mizzy was looking at fellow guest and political commentator Reem Ibrahim when she asked if he had encouraged behaviour that could lead to people getting injured.

Pointing his finger at Mizzy, Andre said: “You can do that to me but you stare at another guest again and I’m going to personally remove you. I’m not taking the mick.

“You glared at her in a threatening fashion. You do that again and I’ll drag you out by the hair and you can be as hard as you pretend you are – apologise to her right now or you’re leaving.”

Mizzy turned to Reem, who was sitting next to him, and said: “You know I respect you but I’m done here.”

The teenager then got up from his seat and left the studio as Andre shouted: “Good riddance to bad rubbish.”

Continuing his rant even after Mizzy had left, he added: “Threatening guests does not happen on my show under any circumstances.

“Reem I’m very sorry but the way he glared at you was not acceptable. We never should have had him on the show. I didn’t even want him here.

“I think the guy is a complete and utter fool. Get the security from downstairs and get rid of him for Christ’s sake.”

Mizzy later denied he had done anything wrong and wrote on his Twitter account @mizzyisbanned: “It’s all part of the game.

“Look at how calm Reema Ibrahim was, even smiling whilst I was giving her eye contact. The only guy that over reacted was Mr Andre Walker and his little escort next to him was just looking confused like she didn’t know what was going on. It’s all scripted #Mizzy.”

The incident divided viewers with some praising Andre for booting him off, with one saying: “That’s the first time an actual adult man has given him a proper telling off. Can’t wait for the memes. Well done.”

Another said: “That look on Mizzy’s face proves that nobody has ever checked him before, good job for the interviewer.”

While a third wrote: “Frankly Mizzy came across as a stroppy, immature twit who for the first time had a man putting him right.”

But others thought Andre went too far, with one tweeting: “Wow this was unhinged & disrespectful from Walker.”

A second wrote: “Is this blatant racial stereotyping? Andre Walker accused ‘Mizzy’ of threatening a guest: 18-year-old was sat in silence, calmly with his hands together – he isn’t a lion stalking prey.”

“Says that and then threatens a guest anyway? Hypocrite. Makes sense @mizzyisbanned did good walking out,” said a third, adding: “A lot of ppl don’t agree with what he did but doesn’t give no one the right to speak to someone like that. He didn’t even do nothing but look and not comment on a question.”

A fourth urged TV regulator Ofcom to investigate saying: “I’m not impressed by @TalkTV and @andrejpwalker using their privileges to humiliate a guest who THEY invited on and was not being threatening. @Ofcome do your work.”

The Mirror has contacted TalkTV, Mizzy and Reem for further comment on this story.
