Nigel Farage has been pranked into paying tribute to a man called Ian Watkins.
Speaking in a Cameo clip, Farage can be heard saying: "This message is to pay tribute to Ian Watkins, a good man, a really good guy who is very much in contact with me.
"He loved his children and will be sorely missed by them forever. He will always hold a very special place in everybody’s heart.
"Remember what he always said ‘Mad Lolz’ doesn’t that sum up the world doesn’t it?
"Sorry for your grief but please try and keep some happy memories."
While Farage does not specify that this Ian Watkins is the now deceased paedophile member of the Lost Prophets, the blundered reference to Mega Lolz is a dead giveaway as it was the infamous singers catchphrase.
Farage has since spoken out on the video, telling Metro: "Thank him for the money. There are lots of Ian Watkins.
"Tell him to send more. I did alter his request."
Farage hasn't specified what alterations he made.
John Smith, who paid for the clip, also spoke to Metro, explaining that he expected a rejection but was mindblown whe Farage accepted the tribute.
He told Metro: "Getting the video was simplicity itself, I just asked him to do a video on behalf of a late friend called Ian Watkins and his family."
He added that his favourite part was that Farage lied saying he knew 'Ian' fairly well.
