 Comedian, actor and upcoming Strictly Come Dancing contestant Les Dennis has said 'nay' to accusations that he is secretly a horse. In case you weren't too sure, the rumours are, in fact, not true. After comedian Adam Rowe joked about Les secretly being a horse while on stage at a Manchester comedy show and subsequently on his podcast, social media users began querying the Family Fortunes star about his equine identity. One user posted 'absolutely wild that @LesDennis is actually a horse. Always who you least suspect' – while another said, '@LesDennis we're still onto you that you're a horse lad. Not having this long con.' The rumours went so far that the Wikipedia page of the 69-year-old star was altered to list him as a 'secret horse', 'alleged horse' and 'race horse', although these labels have since been removed. In response, Les posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: 'For some obscure reason there are a lot of people on here asking if I'm a horse. 'Nay to that.' Well that's cleared things up! His Wikipedia page previously referred to him as a 'horse' (Picture: Wikipedia) The theory that the television presenter is secretly a horse originated from a joke by Adam, during an episode of his podcast Have A Word. He said: 'We came up with a theory that doesn't make any sense that Les Dennis is actually a horse wearing a human costume. 'So then, with absolutely no context whatsoever, we started tweeting Les Dennis, saying 'Hey Les, we're fully aware that you're a horse by the way, and you need to come clean.' The Strictly star has cleared up the rumour (Picture: Ken McKay/ITV/Shutterstock) 'He hasn't got enough followers to not see it. 'I found it so funny that I thought this might work as a bit on stage – I was very new in comedy. 'I tried this material maybe six times in total. The other five times did not work, but that night at the Manchester Comedy Store, I don't know how I said it or why, b){kind=link}
