Ariana Grande's fiancé Pete Davidson has claimed he is 'proud' of the star, after Bill Clinton allegedly 'eyed' her at Aretha Franklin's funeral last month.

In a shocking interview with Howard Stern, the SNL funnyman also discussed the moment a pastor was accused of 'groping' Ariana, as he insisted he 'felt bad' for Bishop Charles H. Ellis III, who apologised for the incident earlier this month.

Twitter naturally erupted with shock at his claims with fans voicing further horror when he told the shock jock that he had been pleasuring himself over his girlfriend before they met and he thinks about his late father when they are intimate.

Pete is no stranger to making shocking statements surrounding their romance, having previously made crass confessions about his adoration for his partner - even stating: 'I was jerking off to her before I met her'.

In light of his awestruck behaviour towards his girlfriend, he was grilled about the moment the former president appeared to look at her in admiration.

Pete said he's 'never been prouder' shortly before discussing the moment Bishop Charles H. Ellis III appeared to touch her breast at the funeral.

The Bishop issued a statement after the day reading: 'It would never be my intention to touch any woman's breast... I don't know I guess I put my arm around her'.

In light of this, Pete voiced his sympathy for the apparent misunderstanding: 'It's not cool and I feel really bad. We both don't think that was intentional...

'He's a really tall guy, she's very little. He was trying to be funny. He did a stupid joke, he's a pastor. He did a s**tty joke, broadcast it on TV. S**tty situation... I feel bad for that guy.'

Further in the shocking interview, he discussed the couple's sex life and admitted he prevents getting overexcited by thinking of his firefighter father, who was killed in the September 11 terror attacks.

The chat took a disturbing turn when the comedian joked about what he thinks about to hold out while having sex.

He said: 'I was just thinking of my Dad being burned alive. That’s what I do. I just think of my Dad seeing that fire coming right towards me.'
