Tyler pranked by Jordan and Perri as fire brigade called to fake KISS Breakfast show 🙈
Tyler thought it was part of an April Fool
We all know that KISS Breakfast boys Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely love a laugh, so with April Fool's Day (and Tyler's birthday) just around the corner they took the opportunity to prank their friend, fellow KISS presenter Tyler West.
Booking Tyler to 'cover' their Breakfast show, unbeknown to Tyler, the boys were presenting their Breakfast show as normal, while he was dealing with every problem known to mankind, that a live show could deal with...
Think, sex noises in links, being interrupted on air, a 'caller' giving 'Perri’s Fun News' – none of which was fun - leaving Ty apologising for the inappropriateness, and a fake showbiz news story which involved singing Nicki Minaj’s ‘Super Freaky Girl’. 🙈
BUT... that wasn't all. When Jordan and Perri finally revealed that Tyler had been pranked, it all went a bit wrong! Perri set off a confetti cannon, setting off the fire alarm and two UNINVITED firefighters turned up in the studio.
As Tyler had just been pranked, he was convinced they were part of the joke and working strippers dressed up as fireman! Thinking they were totally in on it, he shouted: "Get your kit off then" and "Do you want me sat on the chair for this?", but unfortunately for Ty they weren't part of the joke. Awks! 😂
Watch what happened below!
Good on Tyler for being a great sport with Jordan and Perri's April Fool. Don't forget you can listen to Tyler every weekday from 4pm, and occasionally filling in for Jordan and Perri on Breakfast! 😂
Last year, our very own Tyler took part in Strictly Come Dancing, and then joined the Live Tour in February 2023.
