Joe Lycett has explained how he dealt with someone who sent him an email saying that he didn't like him.

Talking on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown the playful Birmingham comedian told the story about a man who "for legal reasons we are going to call Brian." Brian wrote to Lycett at 3am saying that he preferred Jimmy Carr and that Lycett should "find another job. You’re a dick."

Lycett, however, noticed that the address of the firm of solicitors Brian worked for was at the bottom of the email and responded by saying he was going to post a signed photo of Jimmy Carr to his office. Brian quickly asked him not to, replying "Sorry about the last email I was drunk."

The comic pointed out that it was his signature on the photo of Carr and so he would now post his own signature. After doing it he received another email from Brian. "What the actual fuck…The glitter got everywhere."

Lycett added that he had put glitter in the envelope. And also mentioned that he had printed off Brian's emails and sent them to his office manager.
