Madonna was the talk of the internet this week when she appeared to come out as gay on TikTok.
And on Saturday (15 October), comedian Alan Carr riffed off Madonna’s viral TikTok, creating what can only be described as the spoof of the year.
Watch Carr’s response:
Taking to Instagram, Carr poked fun at Madonna’s clip, which saw the superstar hit-maker try to throw a pair of pink knickers into a trash can while the words: “If I miss, I’m gay,” flashed up on screen. Carr’s version cheekily included the words: “If I miss, I’m straight.”

Putting his own spin on Madonna’s bleached eyebrows, Carr, who is openly gay, smothered his own in what appeared to be some sort of cream, and instead of bright pink knickers, he chucked a pair of orange Y-fronts at a bin.
Missing, he tossed his arm into the air and turned around, à la Madonna, and his post quickly racked up more than 20,000 likes.
“Epic lol love the missing eyebrows,” wrote one person beneath Carr’s post, while a second echoed: “Howling! Fabulous!”
When Madonna posted her TikTok video last week, her followers were quick to ask whether they’d just witnessed their favourite celebrity coming out.

One person wrote beneath the footage: “Did I just witness Madonna coming out? Good for her.”
Another added: “Welcome to the better side, queen,” while a third wrote: “I’m so happy for you!”
However, others were quick to point out that Madonna, who has spoken openly about sexual fluidity in the past, has already come out as bisexual.

One person commented: “Y’all late she been on our team,” while a second echoed: “Madonna has been an out bisexual for literally decades my dudes.”
“Y'all Madonna has been out as bi longer than some of us have been alive,” added another TikToker.
While Madonna has never publicly dated a woman, she did famously snog Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
What’s more, according to MailOnline, when speaking about her Justify My Love music video in 1990, the star said: “I think everybody has a bisexual nature. That’s my theory. I could be wrong.”
