Ricky Gervais has revealed that Van Halen detest Karl Pilkington's cover of their hit 'Jump'.
As part of An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List, Pilkington sang the classic song alongside an American chorus club.
However, The Office creator Gervais claimed that the rock band have attempted to censor the version from appearing on screen.
Gervais told The Sun: "Van Halen are trying to put a stop on it, because it is that bad.
"But Sky have got a blanket agreement so we can put it out in England. But we can't put it out in America or on the DVD."
An Idiot Abroad 2 airs on Friday, September 23 from 9pm on Sky1.
