Bizarre Celeb Feud: Jack Whitehall v Sylvester Stallone
One of the most bizarre and unlikely celebrity feuds of the year has emerged, with Sylvester Stallone hitting out at British comedian Jack Whitehall and accusing him of "distorting lies" after he recounting meeting the 69 year old star at the Oscars in February.

Jack Whitehall will try to persuade Wales ace Gareth Bale to join the England squad in a special sketch for Sport Relief.
The Sun, 7th March 2016The last-ever series (boo) of Fresh Meat told us that comedy on C4 might never get better. Eleven weeks away from finals, one night off. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asks tequila Josie of the supine JP, and therein awaits an entire ocean of stupidity.
The naming of JP's brother as "Tomothy", and JP's explanation, was quiet genius, as has been the strength of Jack Whitehall, and writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, all along.
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 28th February 2016Fresh Meat, Channel 4, TV review
The antics of this larger-than-life lot still appeals way beyond the student realm.
Sally Newall, The Independent, 23rd February 2016Fresh Meat review
When I first watched Fresh Meat I had no idea what to expect from the show or that over four years on it would still be going strong. However somehow Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong's university-based comedy drama has gone from strength to strength and they've been given the rare opportunity to end the series in the way they want to.
The Custard TV, 22nd February 2016Fresh Meat: it's time for the students to grow up
We may have seen the last of Peep Show, the fantastic long-running sitcom about two mismatched housemates, but another comedy from writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain still has one more hurrah to go. Fresh Meat (Channel 4), about a group of layabout, mismatched students in Manchester starring Jack Whitehall as misguided, perennially baffled public schoolboy JP, has begun its fourth and final series.
Charlotte Runcie, The Telegraph, 22nd February 20169 questions for the cast of Fresh Meat
JP, Vod, Howard, Oregon, Kingsley and Josie are back for one final series. But is this really the end of the Channel 4 comedy?
Susanna Lazarus, Radio Times, 22nd February 2016Fresh Meat review
The writers say they were inspired by The Young Ones, but all this proves is Jack Whitehall is no Rik Mayall.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 22nd February 2016Fresh Meat cast interview
Towards the end of last year, I caught up with the cast of Fresh Meat; Zawe Ashton (Vod), Charlotte Ritchie (Oregon), Joe Thomas (Kingsley), Kimberley Nixon (Josie) and Jack Whitehall (JP), ahead of the fourth (and sadly) final series.
Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 18th February 2016The return of a wilfully stupid format, which asks comedians to relate tales of yore while plastered. Other performers then star in scenes reflecting exactly what the soused comic has said, lip-syncing to any dialogue. It's a way to make improvised comedy less reliable. Not much comes of Jack Whitehall and Michelle Keegan as Walter Raleigh and Elizabeth I, but Robin Hood and Maid Marian, played by Mathew Baynton and Emma Bunton to the blazingly profane imaginings of Tom Davis, is sensational.
