Posting a selfie of himself in the bath, he wrote: ‘Sat in the bath wondering about what I would say if I were hosting The Golden Globes on Sunday. It’s been a pretty good year for material’

He penned: ‘Hello, and welcome to the 82nd Golden Globe awards. What a year it’s been.
‘Hundreds of entertainers jumped at the chance to go to The Vatican to meet The Pope. Many from Hollywood.
‘Obviously they weren’t content with only being part of the 2nd biggest pedo ring in the world…’
He continued: ‘Justin Timberlake was convicted of [drunk driving]. If he’d have gone to jail he’d have heard the words ‘Sexy Back’ a lot more often.’
Ricky then turned his attention on Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, writing: ‘Kevin Hart said that being at one of Diddy’s parties was uncomfortable, as he wouldn’t leave him alone. Eventually he had to shout ‘Imma Midget, not a child.’

‘We were robbed; We should have had him as host’
