Dave Hughes in verbal stoush with rowdy Wimbledon fan

Dave Hughes has revealed he almost got into a punch-on at Wimbledon with a rowdy spectator who labelled him ‘Little Hitler’.

Dave Hughes has revealed he almost got into a punch-on at Wimbledon with a rowdy spectator who lobbed an offensive slur.

The comedian was on court 15 watching Aussie Jordan Thompson’s thrilling five-set win when he asked an English man to stop talking.

“Three rows of seating on court 15, within metres of the players, tense fifth set, and this English bloke would not stop loudly talking to his friend as if he was down at his local boozer,” Hughes said.

“When I eventually told him to pipe down, he was livid, real ‘how dare you tell me what to do you Aussie scum’ vibe. He called me ‘Little Hitler!’

Dave Hughes told a Wimbledon spectator to pull his head in.

Hughes said it was “hurtful” and his son Raff said it was “a bit of an over-reaction” by the man.

“Everyone around us was happy that I did it,” Hughes said.

“What is it with entitled English wankers?”

Hughes, a self confessed long suffering Carlton fan, is overseas on a family holiday.

Last week he delivered an epic rant about the “sad” reality of his footy obsession.

He also returned to The Project for its farewell show on Friday night before flying out.
