The Masked Dancer’s Joel Dommett has opened up about his exit from MTV following a car crash interview with One Direction.
Joel, 37, is known for his quick wit and humour but it appears it landed him in hot water with bosses at the network who were less than impressed.
The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star often fronted MTV News, interviewing some of the hottest acts around but he has explained he often go into his own world while working.

Speaking on the Never Have I Ever podcast with his wife Hannah, he shared the reason behind his dismissal from the show.

Hannah asked: “Did you ever go to a wacky warehouse?”
To which Joel replied: “Was that like the fun house as in the TV program?
“This is one of the reasons that they let me go at MTV.”
He continued: “I did an interview with One Direction way back in the day and I for some reason went on a tangent and started talking about Fun House.

“And all of them as 18-year-old boys asked what’s fun house and then I started singing the theme tune.
“And then about a week later, I had a conversation with a producer who said I think it’s time we let you go.
“I had the biggest interview of all time with the hottest new male group and they’re really young and hip and I’m singing the Funhouse theme tune.”

Joel however has since gone on to become a household name, fronting some of the biggest shows on television but he still gets the odd awkward reception.
Most recently during an appearance on The Masked Dancer UK, Joel’s crotch became the topic of conversation for many viewers.
The presenter wore a galactic-style suit which boasted a light blue area surrounding his manhood but it didn’t blend with the maroon and black colours, leaving many to question whether he’d had an accident.

One tweet read: “Unfortunately Joel’s trousers make it look as if he has a big wet patch!”
Another echoed: “What is the deal with Joel’s suit today, particularly his trousers… they are a sight I cannot unsee.”
“Oh dear, Joel’s trousers make him look if he’s wet himself the dark unfortunately placed,” joked a third.
While others couldn’t move on from the positioning of the flowers, adding: “Is it just me or is Joel Dommett’s suit awful? The blue flowers seem unfortunately placed on his trousers. Lol.”
