Joe Lycett has reached his £50,000 fundraising target for a homelessness charity following controversial remarks from Home Secretary Suella Braverman about rough sleeping.
The comedian, 35, launched the campaign for Crisis UK after Ms Braverman claimed that rough sleeping is sometimes a “lifestyle choice” while suggesting she wants to place restrictions on the use of tents on public streets.

On Instagram he wrote: “I woke up this morning to see that a picture of a bowl of potpourri I posted just over two days ago has raised £50,000 for Crisis. A huge thank you to everyone who donated for their generosity.
“Of course my main thanks must go to Suella: without your lifestyle choice, of being callous and cruel towards the most vulnerable people in society, none of this would’ve happened.”
The article doesn’t give the complete text of that post which goes on to say:
"There’s another choice coming to all of us fairly soon. It’s known as an election.
“Best if luck with it babe xoxox”
Is his name not still Hugo Boss?
He changed it like 2 days after the stunt.
Just popping in to say how much I love Joe Lycett. It’s a lot.
I like Joe, what a lad.
