Saturday Night Live UK has poked fun at Kanye West's ban from the UK with a sketch featuring its upcoming host Jack Whitehall.
The rapper, 48, who goes by the name Ye, had his visa application cancelled by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on Tuesday.
She banned him from entering Britain to perform at Wireless Festival in July on the grounds his presence would 'not be conducive to the public good'.
Sir Keir Starmer insisted he 'should never have been invited to headline Wireless' and said he 'stands firmly with the Jewish community' against anti-Semitism.
Following the decision, the organisers of Wireless announced this year's festival has now been cancelled.
Poking fun at the situation, producers of SNL UK were quick to turnaround a humorous video on social media as they promoted this week's episode.
In the clip, upcoming host Jack Whitehall can be seen looking at a corkboard which has cards to keep track of each week's hosts and musical guest.
The comedian, 37, spots Ye on the board as both the presenter and performer before he quickly pulls both cards from the board.
Jack then moves on to another gag with some of the SNL UK cast.
Calls had been growing for West to be removed from the Wireless line-up after a string of anti-Semitic outbursts, including releasing a song called Heil Hitler and posing in a swastika T-shirt.
But Nigel Farage yesterday spoke out against calls to bar him from Britain, calling it a 'slippery slope'.
He said: 'I know he said some dreadful things. If people thought he was genuinely going to come into Britain and urge attacks on the Jewish community, then there would be full grounds for stopping it. If it's just saying things we find objectionable, then I think bans are a slippery slope.'
Scotland's First Minister John Swinney also backed West to perform, saying 'we live in a free country' and we should 'let people enjoy the music they want to listen to'.
Confirming the cancelation of this year's three-day event, a spokesperson said: 'As with every Wireless Festival, multiple stakeholders were consulted in advance of booking YE and no concerns were highlighted at the time.'
They continued: 'Antisemitism in all its forms is abhorrent, and we recognise the real and personal impact these issues have had. As YE said today, he acknowledges that words alone are not enough, and in spite of this still hopes to be given the opportunity to begin a conversation with the Jewish community in the UK.'
West had said he wanted to show 'change through his actions' and meet with Jews in London ahead of the performance in Finsbury Park - which would have been his first in the UK in 11 years.
He joins the likes of Eva Vlaardingerbroek - a Dutch anti-immigration influencer who promoted the 'great replacement' theory - in being refused permission to travel to the UK.
Pre-sale for Wireless Festival went live at midday on Tuesday and general sale tickets were due out today. No other acts had been confirmed.
Melvin Benn, managing director at Festival Republic, which promotes Wireless Festival, insisted West deserved forgiveness and appeared to blame the musician's mental health for his anti-Semitic comments.
'Ye's music is played on commercial radio stations in this country,' he said - referring to West by the name he now goes by.
'It is available via live streams and downloads in this country without comment or vitriol from anyone and he has a legal right to come into the country and to perform in this country. He is intended to come in and perform.
'We are not giving him a platform to extol opinion of whatever nature, only to perform the songs that are currently played on the radio stations in our country and the streaming platforms in our country and listened to and enjoyed by millions.'
In response, Sir Keir's spokesman said: 'This is less about second chances. It is more about first principles of abhorrence of anti-Semitic statements.'
The Campaign Against Antisemitism welcomed the decision to block West from entering Britain.
'The Government has clearly made the right decision here - for once, when it said that antisemitism has no place in the UK, it backed up its words with action,' a spokesman said.
