Tiger King star Jeff Lowe had declared that he would rather "f**k a coconut" than Carole Baskin.

The hit Netflix series tells the story of the extraordinary life of zookeeper Joe Exotic and his rivalry with big cat sanctuary owner Baskin, whom he accuses of murdering one of her former husbands and feeding him to tigers.

The show has also made household names of other participants, including Lowe, a businessman who eventually took over Exotic's zoo.

One internet conspiracy theory has posited that Lowe is actually Baskin's first husband Michael Murdock and that together they plotted to murder her next husband and then get Exotic imprisoned.

Responding to the theory on a Reddit AMA, Lowe said: "She is not my type. If I was stuck on a deserted island with her, I would fuck a coconut. I've seen the side by side pictures. It looks more like John and Joe's love child."

Exotic is currently serving 22 years behind bars for a plot to murder Baskin.
