An Aussie comedian has duped a star of the 90s TV show 7th Heaven into giving a shout out to one of Australia’s worst serial killers.

An Aussie comedian’s TikTok video is causing controversy after he successfully duped a cast member of the beloved 90s family TV show 7th Heaven.

Aussie comedian and podcaster Tom Armstrong has left viewers laughing and cringing over the prank, which saw actress Beverley Mitchell duped into giving Australia’s most notorious serial killer a shout out.

In the video, the actress – who played Lucy Camden in the hit show – can be heard thanking Ivan Milat for picking up backpackers.

“You belong in 7th Heaven … we need more people like you in the world,” she says earnestly.

“Hey Ivan! Not many people pick up hitchhikers anymore, but you really helped out the backpacker gang and you belong in 7th Heaven. So thank you, we need more people in the world like you Ivan…Milat, I hope I’m saying that right.”

“Sending you lots of love and thank you again for being such a big fan and for just being awesome and being you.”

“Omg you need to keep doing these,” laughed another.
