Most extraordinary, the Coventry wolfman added: “The originator of the phrase 'smash it' was Jamie Redknapp” – appearing to suggest that ventroliquism may rank alongside incorrect use of the word ‘literally’ among Redknapp junior’s many talents.

Indeed, Keysie and Graysie are so keen to put the offensive catchphrase behind them that the flier advertising their after-dinner speaking career carried the headline ‘Smash It!’ and includes the phrase “call now to talk about booking them – and end your evening with a smash!”
