The comic performed on the sketch show, which is hosted by Ben Elton, to celebrate its 40th anniversary and made sure it was memorable as she removed all of her clothes and continued playing the keyboard naked.

Addressing the trolling she had received, Jordan added: “To my gorgeous new followers: please be patient with those who don’t understand.
“No hate. Women are beautiful. Men are beautiful. NBs are beautiful. I’m just a tit with a piano. And change can be scary.”
Despite the backlash, Jordan was praised by many for her bravely showing off her body while on the show.

Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy, took to social media and applauded her for the display.
