Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman made a savage dig at the Tories amid their leadership battle.
Liz Truss resigned earlier this week after just over a month in office. She resigned from her role amid calls from multiple members of the Conservative party to step down as the leader following a successful campaign just weeks ago.
Penny Mordaunt is the only person to have publicly confirmed she plans to run for the role, with Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson thought to be the other two vying to be leader. Each candidate will need 100 votes or more each to make it to the next round.
As she introduced an upcoming dance from Hamza and Jowita, Claudia said: "Hamza is taking on a tricky ballroom dance and if he's any good at leading, I'll be frank, the country might have a job for him."
Following Liz Truss' decision to resign, the Conservative Party will now choose another leader whilst The Mirror leads calls for a general election. Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, has also called for a general election.
Penny Mordaunt was the first to declare she would be running to be leader.
Taking to Twitter, she confirmed she would be running: "I’ve been encouraged by support from colleagues who want a fresh start, a united party and leadership in the national interest. I’m running to be the leader of the Conservative Party and your Prime Minister - to unite our country, deliver our pledges and win the next GE."
Elsewhere, Rishi Sunak and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson are also thought to be garnering up support amongst the Tory party, but neither have confirmed for sure. Boris is believed to have hit 100 backers, according to his allies.
The ex-PM's dad Stanley today predicted his son "will put his name forward", and added as a Tory member he will personally vote for him, as he told GB News that "he believes there are things to do still” and despite lucrative speaking offers. He also said "he’s ready to give those temptations up to endure the slings and arrows" of leadership.
Strictly, meanwhile, is celebrating 100 years of the BBC with a special themed week where the stars and their professional dancer partners perform to BBC theme tunes or songs in tribute to the BBC service.
