Custom byline text:

The tennis star went with girlfriend Kim Sears to watch an episode of comedy panel show Mock the Week being filmed as he tried to take his mind off his defeat in Sunday's final to Roger Federer.

And when he was seen in the audience, he ended up appearing on the programme and became the butt of its stars' jokes.Afterwards Murray, 25, met up with host Dara O'Briain, and the panelists including comedians Andy Parsons, Hugh Dennis and Chris Addison.He posed for photographs and mingled with crew backstage after the recording on Tuesday at the BBC's studios in London.The show will be aired on BBC Two tonight at 10pm.Murray posted a picture of his appearance on his Facebook page and wrote: "Went to watch Mock the Week being filmed last night, so funny ..."They didn't pick on me that much either, haha. It's on tomorrow night on BBC, get involved."Irish comic O'Briain tweeted: "Very enjoyable recording of Mock the Week. It really adds something when the actual newsmaker is in the audience. That's all I'm sayin'."Murray, of Dunblane, Perthshire, had told how Mock the Week was his favourite programme and said he was watching it to relax during Wimbledon.Earlier this week, Murray revealed he is planning to jet away in the next few days with Kim and their two border collie dogs Maggie May and Rusty.Murray will spend time chilling out at his apartment in Miami, Florida, or "somewhere in Europe" without his tennis racquet.He said: "The disappoint- ment will linger for as long as it needs to, it's not a process I'll rush."
