Speaking directly to the camera, the Hitman said: "Hi everyone.

"Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton here. Been in isolation now for seven days now.

"And it really is hard work isn't it."

Then the fun really started as the joke became clear.

The Manchester born 41-year-old slowly turned around and his TV came into shot as he continued: "But what you've got to do, you've got to keep positive and keep yourself busy."

The screen revealed a black haired woman in black lingerie lounging across a bed in what appeared to be an adult TV call show.

And Hatton added: "Find things to fill your time with, keep knuckling down to it and things will come out good.

"All the best everyone."

While it was unclear exactly what channel the former boxing world champion was watching, fans on Twitter came up with their own suggstions.

One simply wrote: "Babestation," alongside several laughing emojis.

Another added: "What a geezer!"

Most fans simply replied with cry laughing emojis but one Man City fan went one step further and said: "The worrying thing is you must have recorded that because it's light outside..."

And of course it's not the first time the former boxer has left his fans in hysterics with a 'bit of blue'.

In 2017 Hatton uploaded an image showing a woman in a bra and knickers and knee-high socks cooking an egg over a stove.

He said: “Some breakfast I woke up to this morning?”

But it turned out the image was uploaded to social media back in August 2015 and has been circulating for years.

 Ricky Hatton had led fans to believe that the woman was in fact cooking him breakfast back in 2017, when that was clearly not the case
