Saved by the Bell actor Dustin Diamond, who played Screech, has FINALLY admitted that his infamous sex tape featured, in his words, "a stunt wang". Yes, we know, our world is shattered too (ahem).

Speaking in an interview with The Daily Beast, Dustin explained how the whole sex tape idea was just a way to make money and even HE isn't stupid enough to get his actual peen out on film.

Describing how he saw everyone from Colin Farrell to Paris Hilton doing the deed on camera, he says: "My buddy and I were sitting on the couch and [Paris'] video came on the news, and they were saying that it was confirmed that she had business relations with this video and was making money off of each one sold.

"They said it was rumored she made $14 million in revenue from that. So my friend said, 'Damn, buddy! A Screech video's gotta be worth at least a million!' I was like, 'You know, you might be right!'"

In more innocent times. Sigh. Getty Images

So, Screech then went on what must have been the most peculair shopping trip of all time, to buy a fake willy for his money-making sex tape venture. As you do.

"I put the thing together. I got a stunt wang. I'm not an idiot. I'm not going to really put myself out there. So I got a stunt person to come in. And I thought, what if this thing makes $3 million? That's nothing to scoff at. But after that people looked at me dirty, like, 'He does porn.' No, I don't!"

In fact, Dustin says he is basically like a contestant on The Apprentice when it comes to sex tape entrepreneurship: "I faked that one at a chance for millions. I'm an opportunist, really.

"Needless to say it did not make millions. But I had to take the shot. I don't know anyone who wouldn't."

This all comes ahead of a new unofficial behind-the-scenes film that is based on Dustin's autobiography, which has long been criticised by his former co-stars for being untrue.

But Dustin has now said that on top of the fake penis drama, the stories in his book were also fake and entirely the fault of the ghost writer, who he says he only spoke to for a few hours on the phone.

"I was supposed to get a draft copy of the book to proofread, but I never did. While there are some truths to the book and details that are accurate, there's a lot where he just took his own freedom and his own rein."

Hmm, we can't help but feel this might all just be a response to Breckin Meyer calling Dustin "a d*ck". It's handy timing either way.
