In 2017, he starred in a parody of It, portraying a not-so-scary version of Pennywise in comedy sketch The IT Department.

And, to coincide with the recent release of It Chapter Two, James Corden was seen reprising his role as the murderous clown for a new parody of the movie and reality TV dating show The Bachelorette.

In the hilarious clip, which was aired on his Late Late Show on Monday night, the 41-year-old comedian was seen in full clown regalia — including a pasty white face with bold red markings and a voluminous copper wig — as he searched for love.

The comedian competed against a host of men called Tyler — who also all happened to be personal trainers — for the affections of Bachelorette Ashley.

Talking to the cameras, he said: 'I'm so glad I get t go on the group date. I'm just really looking forward to getting to know Ashley better. I've been on my own for a long time, and I think I deserve love.' 

And while he appeared to be blending in with his competitors, it emerged quite early on that his main competition was Ashley P.
