Radio 2 DJ Rylan Clark has reminded fans ‘everyone is entitled to talk about politics’ after being criticised on social media for suggesting Prime Minister Boris Johnson needs to resign.
After the news Mr Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Carrie Johnson were all set to receive fines over the partygate scandal, members of the public quickly gave their thoughts on what should happen next.
But plenty of famous faces hit out after the latest incident to tarnish Downing Street, with Clark one of a number to call for the Prime Minister to go.
The It Takes Two host tweeted of the PM: ‘He’s officially broke the law . That’s it ain’t it?
However, as the reactions continued to flood in from fans, he couldn’t resist the chance to hit back at a critic.
‘Stick to c**p grammar and poor enunciation, second-hand car salesman,’ someone told him.

True to form, the TV presenter, 33, had a fantastic response, even offering to flog the Twitter user a car.
He wrote: ‘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.
‘Also, you interested in a second hand car?…. @cinchuk got some lovely ones in at the moment. Stay well.’
He’d written moments earlier: ‘Just a little reminder. Regardless of your upbringing, education, wealth or status, EVERYONE is entitled to talk about Politics as UK citizens.

The star found himself in a bizarre exchange with former Tory MP Edwina Currie, who defended Mr Johnson after Clark said ‘that’s it’ for the PM.
She told him: ‘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.’

In response, he told fans: ‘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.’
