Speaking to the Birmingham Mail, he said: “There are actually a lot of people who deny that bisexuality exists and say it’s just someone being indecisive.

“I originally came out as gay when I was a teenager, then backtracked when I thought I had closed off the market a bit!

“My parents have always been very supportive and it hasn’t been an issue.

“Mum worried I might get more problems in life because of my bisexuality but I think people are more liberal now.”

The comedian said in a statement: “This was to raise awareness about the fact that fashion behemoth Hugo Boss have issued cease and desist letters to small businesses that have the word ‘ boss’ in their name. And raise awareness it did.

“It became world news with headlines across the globe. Dick n Dom from da Bungalow said I should be knighted.”

Joe continued: “Hugo Boss issued a statement saying they ‘welcome the comedian formerly known as Joe Lycett to the Hugo Boss family.’

“Well I have decided to go back to the Lycett. They don’t target small businesses, if you ignore the time mum posted a dump to the local florist”
