Ricky Gervais has been accused of bullying fellow comedian and former friend Robin Ince when they toured together with the alleged actions resulting in 'trauma'

He alleged Gervais’ behaviour toward him became so bad his co-star in The Office Mackenzie Crook, stepped in and confronted him about it.

Robin Ince, the comedian, has claimed that he was bullied by Ricky Gervais. The performer, known for co-presenting the Infinite Monkey Cage on BBC Radio 4, toured with Gervais before the pair fell out.

The comedian, 63, has previously ruffled feathers with his behaviour both on and off-stage, with some names sharing their less-than favourable experiences working with him.
