Linda Biscuits’ firing caused outrage from the live studio guests and fans but despite this, the comedian did not change his mind.

The four-legged assistant had a wee on the set, with Joe telling her: “Linda Biscuits, this is not the sort of behaviour I will tolerate from a crew member. No, it is unprofessional.

“There is a code of conduct and p*ssing on this set is definitely overstepping the mark. We sacked Carlos the sound man for the same thing, I can’t do double standards.Linda, you’re sacked.”

The firing saw boo’s and chanting of “Linda” from the four guests, including actress Daisy May Cooper, actor David Harewood, television presenter Rylan Clark and Radio 1 breakfast host Greg James.

However in a turn of events, Joe Lycett has shared a series of photos from the Linda Biscuits Instagram account hinting at a potential feud between the pair.

The Linda Biscuits Instagram account shared a series of photos of the four-legged camera assistant holding a large envelope addressed to “Joe Lycett, Channel 4, Birmminom” as she sat in front of a letter box.

The Instagram post told followers: “I have spoken with my lawyers who advised me to send this letter to @joelycett and the @channel4 team. Thank you to everyone for your continued support. 🐾 Linda x #TeamLindaBiscuits”
