(Picture: Getty Images)Rylan Clark and Edwina Currie have now butted heads in one of the most surprising Twitter spats of the year so far.
The TV personality and former Conservative Party MP clashed over their opposing opinions about Boris Johnson receiving a No10 partygate fine.
Following the news the PM is set to be fined for attending his 56th birthday in June 2020, Clark tweeted: “He’s officially broke the law. That’s it ain’t it?”
Responding the following day, Currie defended Johnson and she told the former X Factor star to “get real”.
She tweeted: “No, it isn’t. Shouldn’t have happened, but it’s done now. In case you hadn’t noticed, this all happened two years ago. Putin is laughing at us. Get Real.”
Shocked by her sassy response, the Essex native had an equally outspoken comeback of his own.
He wrote: “I did not have @Edwina_Currie on my bingo card for this morning. Edwina, there’s a war, we’re living with Covid, there’s a lot going on publicly and personally.
“I’m aware when it was. Believe me I don’t need to ‘get real’ it’s a statement. Not an opinion. You stay well, as will I.”
He then shared a tweet he had received from another follower advising him to “Stick to c**p grammar and poor enunciation.”

They then referred to him as a “second-hand car salesman” in a dig at his endorsement deal with car sales company Cinch.
Clark responded: “Mate, if you’re more concerned about ‘c**p grammar and poor enunciation’ on Twitter than the state of this country currently, then you do you.”
He added: “Also, you interested in a second hand car?…. @cinchuk got some lovely ones in at the moment. Stay well.”
In a further tweet, he defended his right to show an interest in the country he lives in.
He wrote: “Just a little reminder. Regardless of your upbringing, education, wealth or status, EVERYONE is entitled to talk about Politics as UK citizens.”
