By Liz Hull, Rosie Taylor and Louise Eccles PUBLISHED: 07:12 EST, 11 April 2012 | UPDATED: 01:32 EST, 12 April 2012 As a comedian, he should probably have learnt when to give up on a joke. But instead of making amends for his jibe about Hillsborough, Alan Davies has dug himself in deeper – by joking that he wanted to dress up as a ‘comedy Scouser’. The 46-year-old received death threats after he mocked Liverpool Football Club’s refusal to play on the anniversary of the 1989 disaster, out of respect for the 96 fans who died. He apologised for the remarks – only to aggravate the situation yesterday by poking fun at Liverpudlians.
