Watch: Gay British Comedian Follows Madonna's Lead in TikTok Challenge
Gay British comedian Alan Carr followed in Madonna's TikTok footsteps, posting his own version of the "If I Miss, I'm Gay" challenge.
In Carr's case, however, the challenge was: "If I miss, I'm straight."
Madonna made headlines with the challenge, tossing a pair of red panties at a bin and missing the shot. Despite the result, and her longstanding allyship with the LGBTQ+ community notwithstanding, it seems unlikely the miss actually means that Madonna is gay, though she has hinted at being bisexual in the past.
News accounts also took note of the look the "Lucky Star" singer adopted when making the video. As previously reported, the "Like a Virgin" singer had bright pink hair and bleached eyebrows, prompting some to comment that she was giving off "Marilyn Manson vibes."

UK newspaper the Independent reported that Carr made fun of Madge's look in his Instagram post. "The comedian can be seen wearing shaving cream over his eyebrows to mimic Madonna's bleached ones, and he has also stuffed something down his Mickey Mouse jumper in a very low-effort attempt to look like the cone corset the singer wore in her own video," the article detailed.
"Instead of chucking knickers, 46-year-old Carr throws a pair of red Calvin Klein boxers," the article said.
The outcome?
"Carr's underwear did not land in the bin."
Carr then mimicked the "Oh, well" gesture the Material Girl made when she missed her own shot.
