Actor Dan Stevens left the staff of UK chat show The One Show gasping when he turned a description of his new TV project into a stinging attack on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Former Downton Abbey star Stevens, 39, was appearing on the show to discuss his role in the new TV series Gaslit, which looks at the Watergate scandal that brought down US President Richard Nixon in the 1970s.
Asked by hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas to describe the plot of the series, Jones launched into a detailed explanation - that had a surprising sting in its tail.
What you've got is a criminal for a leader who is wrapped in a messy war, embroiled in a stupid scandal and surrounded by ambitious idiots and really should resign," he began, before looking into the camera and feigning confusion.
