Boxing icon Ricky Hatton has always had a sharp left hook and an even sharper sense of humour—and his now-infamous Babestation cameo proves he’s still got it.
Back in the early days of lockdown, Hatton filmed a short video message from home, encouraging fans to stay positive and “keep busy.” But while the message was well-meaning, it was the background that stole the show. Playing loudly and proudly on the TV behind him? Babestation.
A Message with a (Very Obvious) Twist
Let’s be honest: this probably wasn’t a mistake. Ricky knows exactly what he’s doing—and that’s why we love him for it.
There he was, calmly chatting to the camera about staying strong in isolation, while our late-night broadcast played on in full view just behind his shoulder. The contrast was brilliant. Inspirational monologue up front, Babestation babes in the back. Comedy timing: flawless.
Fans immediately clocked what was going on. The video went viral within hours, and the reactions were gold.
Internet Reactions Were Priceless
Viewers weren’t just amused—they were delighted. Social media was flooded with replies like:
“He’s telling us to keep busy—clearly leading by example.”
“I didn’t hear a word he said, but 10/10 for background entertainment.”
“Ricky’s telly deserves its own Instagram.”
It struck the perfect tone: funny, cheeky, and unmistakably Hatton.
We’re Not Saying He Meant It, But…
Okay—we are. Ricky 100% knew what he was doing. And we respect the commitment to the bit. In a time when everyone needed a laugh, he delivered one—without saying a single joke. Just one perfectly placed TV channel and a knowing smirk.
These are the moments we live for at Babestation. The unexpected ones. The ones where our show becomes part of the punchline. Whether you call it a cameo, an Easter egg, or just good comedy instincts—it was a knockout.
Ricky, You’re Always Welcome
Ricky, if you ever fancy swapping the boxing ring for the studio, you know where we are. We’ve got plenty of biscuits, a free headset, and absolutely zero judgment.
Thanks for the cameo, champ.
