Some of his fans are super rich and have offered Ricky millions of pounds to host her special day.

However, he always rejects them and explains why in an interview on Radio 5 Live.

Ricky said, “If you can’t be bought, you’re the richest person in the world.”

He continued, “I reject them all – not because I think it’s under me, but because I wouldn’t enjoy it.

“In fact, I feel guilty because I think this is a daily chore and I could give that £ 5 million to charity.”

Ricky knows from experience how painful such events can be.

He said, “When I started, I did one. The office was out for a week and I was having this big paid corporate event. I remember thinking: ‘I have to take this’ because the pay was the same as my father made 15 minutes in one year.

“But I hated every minute of it – some drunken marketing managers. I thought, ‘I’ll never do it again’. “

Ricky also revealed that he didn’t care if his jokes upset people.

He explained, “When someone complained about a joke ten years ago, I looked at it – I thought he might be right here. Now I say: ‘No, people just want to be heard’.

“People who want to be offended will find a way to be offended. That doesn’t mean they are right. “
