There were gasps from the studio crew on The One Show last night (April 13) as actor Dan Stevens made an appearance to discuss his new show Gaslit but instead used his time on the sofa as an opportunity to slam Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The former Downton Abbey star was promoting his upcoming show, which will tell the story of the President Nixon and the infamous Watergate scandal of 1972 when speaking to presenters Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas, he was asked to explain the premise of the show and seized his chance:
Dan said: "Well, what you’ve got is a criminal for a leader who is wrapped in a messy war, embroiled in a stupid scandal and surrounded by ambitious idiots and really should resign," he said, before pausing briefly. He then continued: "I’m sorry that’s the intro to Boris Johnson."
