<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Forget high-brow routines and political satire, some of the funniest jokes are of the old slapstick variety.<\/p>\n
Magician Paul Daniels knows this more than anyone, which might explain why he allowed the children's puppet Sooty to throw a pizza at his bald bonce as part of the fluffy friend's ITV show.<\/p>\n
It all sounds fairly harmless, but it seems the yellow puppet got a bit carried away and ended up throwing the fast food with such strength that 73-year-old Daniels had to be taken to hospital with a painful eye.<\/p>\n
Richard Cadell was operating Sooty at the time and told Sky News he was devastated after realising the magician was hurt.<\/p>\n
"Paul turned round and said 'Come on Sooty, give it some welly!', so I did. The second throw hit him hard," he is quoted as saying, although Daniels later denied asking for a stronger throw.<\/p>\n
Thankfully the star – who previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing – made a full recovery and is now preparing for his upcoming shows.<\/p>\n
