Granada Reports is a long-running current affairs show on Granada Television. Last night, they interviewed the veteran comedian Ken Dodd about his tour around the UK.

They were keen to talk to him about the tour, but for some reason, the caption under it read ‘Michael D Higgins, President of Ireland.’

Looks like Granada have made a bit of a boo-boo, unless, of course, they are one and the same and we have uncovered one of the great secrets of our time.

Our President is moonlighting as a veteran Scouse comedian. There’s a film in this. I’d call it “All The President’s Diddymen”.

Hat-tip to Aisling Leigh for sending this one our way
