Deayton: I'm this week's loser

Have I Got News For You? host Angus Deayton has admitted to be a "loser" as he filmed the show following newspaper disclosures about his private life.

Panelists Ian Hislop and Paul Merton mercilessly teased the 45-year-old star.

Both had copies of the News of the World, which reported that Deayton had sex with a prostitute and on one occasion took cocaine in a hotel.

At one stage, Merton also unveiled a t-shirt featuring the front page of the newspaper.

Deayton mentioned the incident in his opening comments, saying: "Welcome to the show. This week's loser is... Presenting it."
