Comedian Joe Lycett has disclosed a light-hearted feud with pop star Harry Styles involving a KitKat Chunky (peanut butter). Lycett, host of "Late Night Lycett," shared a video on his TikTok account explaining the unusual situation.

According to Lycett, the feud began when Styles purchased a painting for £6 and a KitKat Chunky peanut butter. The painting depicted the "Watermelon Sugar" singer with a pink, egg-shaped head. Styles agreed to buy the piece, and Lycett sent an invoice for the agreed amount and the chocolate bar.

Lycett recounted in his video, "So I sent the painting to the address he provided. Obviously, I looked it up on Zoopla. And I put an invoice in there with a reminder that payment is now due." However, when Lycett received payment, it lacked the KitKat Chunky. Instead, he found six clingfilm-wrapped pound coins and an illegible note.

“There was no KitKat Chunky peanut butter!” Lycett exclaimed. “Harry has now entirely stopped responding to me. God, I feel like Zayn. What do I do? What does the note say? AND WHERE IS MY KITKAT?”

Lycett is no stranger to high-profile confrontations. In 2022, he famously challenged former Prime Minister Liz Truss and held David Beckham to ransom, demanding he drop out as an ambassador for the World Cup in Qatar. Lycett threatened to shred £10,000 live on TV if Beckham did not comply, but ultimately revealed it was a stunt and donated the money to charity.

Currently, Lycett's demands for a KitKat Chunky remain in jest. Recently, Lycett wrapped up the second series of his Channel 4 chat show "Late Night Lycett." The series included memorable moments such as Danny Dyer's expletive comment about David Cameron and a segment with Sinitta from a nudist spa.

Discussing his show, Lycett emphasized the importance of diversity in entertainment, saying, “I’ve been on some very unhappy productions and often they’re the ones that are just about the bottom line and just want to make money. And actually the ones where you do bring people up… I think it’s good for everyone and it’s good for the show.”
