Miriam Margolyes didn’t hold back while delivering a blistering takedown of Jeremy Hunt on live radio, admitting that she wished she’d told him: ‘F**k you, you b*****d!’
On Friday, it was announced that Hunt had been appointed by Prime Minister Liz Truss to replace Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor after the latter was sacked following just 38 days in the role.
On Saturday morning’s BBC Radio 4, Harry Potter star Margolyes appeared on the show, where she aired her views on Hunt as her interview came to a close.
The actress confessed she never thought she’d be ‘sitting in the seat’ where Hunt had been sitting.
‘The thing is, when I saw him there, I just said, “You’ve got a hell of a job, the best of luck.” Of course what I wanted to say was, “F**k you, you b*****d!”’ she then added.
