A hilarious resurfaced clip of Coolio has showed him having to perform with production crew as his backing dancers at the last minute after being booked 'by mistake' on a TV show.

Sharing the video on Twitter, comedy writer James Cotter said Coolio was rumoured to have been 'booked by mistake' and the crew realised too late that no backing dancers had been arranged.

'To have him dancing with the staff was quite the moment. Which they did willingly. The very idea of introducing Coolio on afternoon television shows you how innovative RTÉ has always been…'
The clip shows Marty introducing him, saying: 'To perform this now we have a number of our own crew, Open House crew we could call them including DJ Liz who is over there and the rest of them.
'Ladies and gentleman it is Coolio and Ghetto Square Dance!'
