Jack Whitehall says he got into 'a load of trouble' for spoiling Raye's BRIT Awards performance before sensationally storming out of the studio in hilarious April Fool's prank

Jack Whitehall embraced the most prank-filled day of the year by playing a joke on Capital FM star Will Manning, as he dramatically stormed out of the studio during the Breakfast Show on Wednesday.

The comedian, 37, returned as the host of the BRIT Awards in February, and confessed he received a telling-off from bosses after he accidentally revealed Raye's performance during his last appearance on the radio show.

After being shown the toe-curling moment on screen, Jack feigned offence to Will's questions by dramatically walking out of the studio, before declaring that it was only a April Fool's Day joke.

The funnyman recently celebrate his stag party by enjoying a six-hour pub crawl with pals James Corden and Jamie Redknapp, as he prepares to tie the knot with Roxy Horner later this year.

During the radio chat, Will said: 'When you were last here – we've got to bring this up – you had a little boo boo, you had a little slip up. Remember this? You were talking about the BRITs.'

He then played a clip that showed the comic declaring on Capital that Raye was set to perform, despite the fact her appearance was yet to be announced by bosses. 

Will explained: 'Now, the reason people love that is because Raye hadn't been announced yet, Jack, and you may have let slip. So, people wanted to know what was the fallout? What was the phone call after that?' 

Jack said: 'Yeah, I got in a load of trouble,' before his tone turned serious as he declared he 'didn't want to drag all this up again.'

While Will quickly apologised, Jack furiously said: 'Sorry. It's just, It was… I got in. We did talk about this. I just…

'Yeah. Because it was, you know, obviously it was funny at the time, but then I did get in… So, you know, it’s not something I want to…'

“I’ve literally come in all the way… Sorry, I’m just having a bit of a moment this morning,' Jack said before removing his headphones and walking out of the studio.

As Will frantically began playing another song, Jack burst into laughter to reveal it was all an April Fool's prank, leading the DJ to brand him 'an idiot.'

Through his laughter, Jack added: 'Can you hear that on the radio? The sound of his bottom quivering! I had you, I literally had you!'

'That worked so much better than I have possibly expected!'

It comes after he enjoyed a wild stag do – including stopping off at a cheekily named mini-golf bar called Swingers and visiting a racy club.

The comedian and actor, who is to marry model Roxy Horner in a few weeks, kicked off Saturday's festivities wearing a golden crown during a six-hour pub crawl through Soho.

He was joined by former footballer Jamie Redknapp, actor and TV presenter James Corden and ex-rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio.

Corden, 47, and Redknapp, 52, were long-time colleagues of Whitehall on Sky's sports-comedy panel show A League Of Their Own.

Their stag do reunion started at the Devonshire pub at 3pm, where 37-year-old Whitehall was clearly already in high spirits, raising glasses and laughing with his close-knit friends. 

Their camaraderie was evident with pictures showing the group laughing and embracing each other.  

By 5pm the party had moved to risque cabaret venue The Box in Soho, usually an evening-only venue, for what was thought to be a private show. 

At 8.30pm the celebrations took a playful turn with a round of mini-golf at Swingers.
