With more than 500,000 people signing a petition calling for Donald Trump to be banned from the UK, perhaps the presidential hopeful needs a new way of addressing us Brits.

And funnyman Peter Serafinowicz may just have come up with the answer - a macho London accent.

The versatile actor, known for his role in Simon Pegg's Shaun of the Dead and for being the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, has posted a hilarious parody of the controversial billionaire.

Entitled Donald Thump, Serafinowicz has dubbed over one of Trump's controversial speeches, re-imagining the Republican front runner as a Cockney hardman.

Tweeting his latest video to his 750,000 followers, Serafinowicz wrote: "I gave Donald Trump a cockney tough guy accent."

Liverpool-born Serafinowicz is known for his uncanny impressions of celebrities including Sir Terry Wogan, Simon Cowell and Al Pacino.

He is also the man behind the critically acclaimed Look Around You, a series of spoof school science videos.
