Axel Blake revealed this odd request to Celebrity Catchphrase's Stephen Mulhern.
What did you miss?
Britain's Got Talent 2022 winner Axel Blake was once asked to perform his comedy set at a wake.
This eyebrow-raising request cropped up during the latest episode of Celebrity Catchphrase, which also featured This Morning's Sian Welby and Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley as contestants.
Stephen Mulhern, who hosts the gameshow on ITV, drew the story out of Blake.
What, how and why?
"What would you say has been your worst gig?" was Mulhern's question.
Blake, who was competing on the show to raise money for independent charity African Caribbean Leukemia Trust, told him: "Someone asked me to perform at a funeral wake."
"How would you have opened that?" asked the shocked presenter.
"'I know you've been dying to see me,' or something!" smiled the comic, much to everyone's amusement.
Meanwhile, the BGT champion also revealed his "punch-me moment" was appearing on America's Got Talent: All-Stars in 2023 - thanks to the adoration of the crowd.
"There was people there with banners; 'Axel! We love you!' ... I was like, 'Wow!'" he said.
What else has Blake been up to since winning BGT?
Following the comedian's life-changing talent show victory three years ago, Blake has not only presented at the British Soap Awards; special-guested on hip-hop panel show Don't Hate the Playaz, made high-flying attendees laugh at the Royal Variety Performance, and played Celebrity Eggheads, he's also a five-time contestant on Richard Osman's House of Games.
You can watch Celebrity Catchphrase on Sundays via ITV1 and ITVX, while Britain's Got Talent is currently airing its 18th series on the same channel/streaming service on Saturdays.
