Video: Remember the twerk fail video? It was a hoax filmed by Jimmy Kimmel

The US TV host pranked the world.

We loved it, you loved it, and almost 10 million people viewed he clip on YouTube. But the video called ‘Worst Twerk Fail EVER – Girl Catches Fire’ has been revealed as a stunt by US TV host Jimmy Kimmel.

On his show last night, Kimmel interviewed the unfortunate dancer in the video, stunt woman Daphne Avalon and thanked her.

"Thank you for helping us deceive the world and hopefully put an end to twerking forever."

And here’s how he revealed it and did it.

Hats off Jimmy you got us, and the rest of the planet, pretty good with this one.
