On Sunday’s episode of Lego Masters, Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli pranked the contestants with a hilarious joke.
The presenter and comedian came out on stage dressed in a suit after his co-star Hamish Blake introduced him as a “very special guest”.

The teams, from Germany, the United States, France and Denmark, did not notice.
