See, this is precisely why we love Louis Theroux.
He may be one of the most celebrated documentary-makers ever - but he's also not afraid to take the p*ss out of himself.
If you're a Twitter follower of Theroux's, you may be aware that the other day he shared a tweet by 'Louis Theroux Bot' (basically an account that randomly generates bonkers versions of his 'I'm in X to talk to Y about Z' introductions) about Hull being a portal to hell - saying that if it got enough RTs, he'd record himself actually saying it.
Alright, you asked for it. If this gets enough retweets I'll record it. Using my real voice. https://t.co/hg5ssu7TdJ

Sure enough, he's a man true to his word:
Et voila! I did it in quite a serious mode. I guess it felt like a pretty important story. @louistherouxbot pic.twitter.com/5wCYevz5Mo
