Joe Lycett changes name back from Hugo Boss

The comedian formerly known as Joe Lycett has said he has officially gone back to his own name, a month after legally becoming known as Hugo Boss.

BBC, 16th April 2020

Joe Lycett returns for a second season of his consumer complaints show, taking to the internet and the streets to root out corporate injustice, ranging from council bin collections to unhygienic Uber Eats deliveries (a worrying prospect during lockdown). In tonight's opening episode, he explains the story behind his name change last month, all in the aid of small businesses. Along for the ride are comic Katherine Ryan and his trusty assistant Mark Silcox.
