Miriam Margoyles launched a furious attack on Jeremy Hunt during BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. The award-winning actress revealed she wanted to tell the newly-appointed Chancellor “f*** you”. She said: “I never thought I’d be seating in the seat [Jeremy Hunt has just sat in].
“The thing is, when I saw him there I just said, ‘you’ve got a hell of a job, best of luck’.
“What I really wanted to say was f*** you, you b******” but you can’t say that!”
Host Justin Webb quickly interjected: “No, you can’t say that. We’ll have to have you out of the studio now.”
The moment set Twitter alight with many users calling her a “legend”.

It comes as Ms Truss’s premiership remains in peril this weekend after she sacked Mr Kwarteng and ditched a major chunk of her mini-budget in an extraordinary gamble to stay in power.
After three weeks of turmoil on the financial markets in the wake of Mr Kwarteng’s £43 billion mini-budget tax giveaway, Ms Truss ended days of frenzied speculation by forcing her friend from office and U-turning on her commitment to drop the planned rise in corporation tax from 19 percent to 25 percent, a central plank of her leadership campaign.
Mr Hunt, twice a Tory leadership contender and a former foreign secretary, repeatedly insisted on Saturday morning that “difficult” decisions were going to be made, but denied that the UK was heading towards another era of austerity.
He also insisted that Ms Truss’s growth plan is “absolutely right”.
“It’s a big honour to do the job that I’ve been asked to do by the Prime Minister but I want to be honest with people: we have some very difficult decisions ahead,” he told Sky News.
