Grumpy bishop calls choir 'terrible' and makes them leave his church

A disgruntled bishop in a dressing gown told a choir at a church concert to stop their 'terrible racket' and get out of his house.

A barefooted Jonathan Baker, the Bishop of Fulham, took to the stage and grabbed a microphone to tell bemused performers and a 300-strong audience to leave.

The City Academy Voices choir was coming to the end of their performance at St Andrew's church in Holborn, central London, on Friday night when all of the lights were suddenly turned on.

Social media footage of the altercation, which has been viewed almost 400,000 times, shows Bishop Jonathan telling the crowd: 'You are in my house. It's gone past 10pm and this is a terrible racket.'

There are murmurs of disbelief from the crowd before the Bishop, 58, repeats: 'Goodnight. You are in my house – can you leave it now please. Thank you, it's over.'
