Comedian Jack Whitehall brought the house down on Twitter recently after visiting KFC in Putney High Street with his parents.

The 24-year-old stand-up, who lived in Putney until last year, popped into the take-away with his folks to pick up some late night grub.

But it appeared that Mr Whitehall Senior was a KFC novice and, unsure how the ordering process worked at the fast food joint, asked if he could book a table.

The funnyman posted a photo of him in the restaurant on Twitter struggling to grasp the KFC system.

Referring to the photo, Jack, who uses the handle @jackwhitehall, said: "My dad trying to work out how KFC works. He just asked if they serve wine."
