Former Labour MP Alan Johnson argued about eating dinner on the sofa during an incendiary performance on Steph's Packed Lunch today. Alan Johnson, 72, whose political career includes various Cabinet roles from 2003 to 2006 was responding to the story that Simon Cowell enjoys a TV dinner with his son.
An incredulous Johnson said: "I always switch the telly off when eating dinner. I mean the thought of eating your dinner on the sofa, that’s not what sofas are there for.”
When probed further as to his reasoning why, Johnson replied: “They’re there to sit and relax, chat and cry. But they’re not there to eat.
