Newly appointed Deputy Prime Minister Thérèse Coffey has had an interview interrupted by US rapper Dr Dre.
The close ally of new Prime Minister Liz Truss was being interviewed by LBC’s Nick Ferrari on Wednesday when she suddenly reached to her side to silence the rapper, whose track was playing from her phone. When asked by the host if she had a phone call, she said: “I’ve just realised my alarm is going off.”
The 50-year-old – who was also appointed Health Secretary in Truss' cabinet reshuffle – had been answering questions on her new and previous roles when Still D.R.E, the rapper’s 1999 hit with Snoop Dogg, cut them off. Thérèse was then forced to awkwardly fiddle with her phone mid-question in order to cancel the alarm.
