MIRIAM Margolyes has told how she wanted to swear at new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt when she met him in a BBC radio studio just a day after he took up his latest role in Government.
The 81-year-old actress, who is known to be outspoken during interviews, said she had wished Hunt the best of luck, but added that she had wanted to use much stronger words in greeting him.
Margolyes had been on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme paying tribute to the late actor Robbie Coltrane, who died on Friday.
