Celebrity Traitors enthusiasts have discovered a legendary clip featuring Nick Mohammed, which they're dubbing "the greatest video of all time".

The Ted Lasso star has demonstrated he's worth his reported £40,000 appearance fee on Claudia Winkleman's murder mystery programme, displaying his strategic prowess from the opening episode where he cracked a puzzle in moments, through to double-crossing fellow Faithfuls Kate Garraway and Lucy Beaumont with a covert message to Joe Marler, enabling him to triumph in a challenge.

During this manoeuvre, Nick placed himself, Kate and Lucy in jeopardy of elimination by Traitors Cat Burns, Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross, who remain undetected thus far.

Whilst supporters dread the possibility that Nick might be ousted from the competition, many have rediscovered one of his finest television moments.

The entertainer, recognised for his portrayal of Mr Swallow across stage and screen, has regularly featured on programmes such as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, reports Wales Online.

One particular appearance, which also starred Claudia and Lucy's former partner Jon Richardson, witnessed him delivering his personal interpretation of the Jurassic Park theme tune.

"I'm a massive, massive fan of film scores, always have been, always will be," Nick commenced, emphasising his enthusiasm for John Williams' compositions.

"My absolute favourite is Jurassic Park, loved it as a kid, still love it now," he proceeded, offering his own version complete with lyrics that captured the storyline.

In it, he included: "They share the DNA of frogs, what a good idea, what a bad idea, what could possibly go wrong?"

He sings: "It's Jurassic Park, it's a massive park, what could possibly go wrong? Everyone gets killed except the great Sam Neill, who's obsessed, who's obsessed, who's obsessed, who's obsessed, they evolve into birds."

Fans have been left in hysterics at the clip, with one person posting on X: "In celebration of Nick Mohammed's great puzzle solving, here's his hilarious Jurassic Park theme tune performance."

Another replied: "How have I never seen this before?? Hilarious."

"This is what I'm here for," someone else said, as another agreed: "Very under-rated comedian! Was incredible on Taskmaster too."

"Hilarious, I've never seen it before so thank you!" another commented.

When the clip was shared on Reddit, one fan wrote: "My appreciation for Nick Mohammed keeps growing."

Another said: "Holy s**t this had me in tears."

Someone else replied: "Nick Mohammed as Mr Swallow on 8 Out of 10 Cars Does Countdown, with one of the greatest videos of all time."

Ahead of taking part in The Celebrity Traitors, Nick admitted his character Mr Swallow wouldn't be making an appearance.

He shared: "Sadly, I think Nick Mohammed was booked rather than Mr. Swallow. But also, can you imagine how irritating that would be, not just for the people taking part, but for the nation?! I mean, I'm not saying I won't slip into Mr. Swallow at some point, but no, that would have been too much."

He added: "I decided to take part because I absolutely adore the show, and always have done. This is the first thing I've ever done as myself.

"I did Taskmaster, which was sort of as me, but even that, I decided to dress as Dracula because I wanted to hide behind something.

"Because I like to act, often in character, I tend not to do as much as myself to sort of preserve an element of mystery, I guess.

"But there was no way I was going to give up an opportunity like this! I've always loved games like this and to hang out with such a wonderful, fascinating bunch too - what a privilege."

The Celebrity Traitors continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
