In a surprise protest, the group Just Stop Oil showed up on the set of Channel 4’s The Last Leg.
The unwanted guests surprised Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe, and Alex Brooker when they introduced themselves and gave the hosts orange high-visibility vests.
Adam, 53, who was the main host, told the audience that this wasn’t planned, since the people made themselves at home in the first few seconds of the show.
As part of the protest, they also set off an orange confetti blast, but the show’s security quickly got rid of them.
Adam whooped and cheered when the attackers came in, while Josh said he was “relieved” that they were with Just Stop Oil.
‘Not going to lie I s**t myself,’ he said. ‘I was relieved it was Just Stop Oil as we slagged off Putin last week.’
‘I regret not bringing my inhaler,’ he later added. ‘I thought it was an assassin.’
Even so, he afterward said that he was upset that they didn’t care enough to stay for the whole show.
In quite a friendly exchange the protestor told Adam: ‘Hi, I’m William.’
‘Hi William,’ he responded as the pair hugged.
‘If you couldn’t already tell, we are live,’ he added once they’d exited the stage.

The host laughed it off and told them they could come back every week if they wanted to.
‘If that’s what every Just Stop Oil protest is like I’m down with it.
‘If it’s people coming out smiling and throwing orange confetti, absoloutely bring it on.
‘Know when to get the f**k off, but do you know what that’s great. Can we do that every week?’
‘It’s not often you get a protestor who introduces himself,’ he also noted.
