We all know that KISS Breakfast boys Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely love a laugh, so with April Fool's Day (and Tyler's birthday) just around the corner they took the opportunity to prank their friend, fellow KISS presenter Tyler West.

Booking Tyler to 'cover' their Breakfast show, unbeknown to Tyler, the boys were presenting their Breakfast show as normal, while he was dealing with every problem known to mankind, that a live show could deal with...

Think, sex noises in links, being interrupted on air, a 'caller' giving 'Perri’s Fun News' – none of which was fun - leaving Ty apologising for the inappropriateness, and a fake showbiz news story which involved singing Nicki Minaj’s ‘Super Freaky Girl’. 🙈

BUT... that wasn't all. When Jordan and Perri finally revealed that Tyler had been pranked, it all went a bit wrong! Perri set off a confetti cannon, setting off the fire alarm and two UNINVITED firefighters turned up in the studio.

Producer Grace and firefighter

As Tyler had just been pranked, he was convinced they were part of the joke and working strippers dressed up as fireman! Thinking they were totally in on it, he shouted: "Get your kit off then" and "Do you want me sat on the chair for this?", but unfortunately for Ty they weren't part of the joke. Awks! 😂

Watch what happened below!

Good on Tyler for being a great sport with Jordan and Perri's April Fool. Don't forget you can listen to Tyler every weekday from 4pm, and occasionally filling in for Jordan and Perri on Breakfast! 😂

Last year, our very own Tyler took part in Strictly Come Dancing, and then joined the Live Tour in February 2023.

As I started writing this I already got cramp. It's going to be one crazy incredible journey which will no doubt be SO far outside my comfort zone. It's a show that means so much to me and my family and I can't wait to seriously shake a leg on that shiny dance floor… with a side of sequins."
