Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock has called out King Charles’ coronation for being tone-deaf amid the cost-of-living crisis.

The popstar, 31, shared a viral quote on her Instagram, previously posted by the likes of Munroe Bergdorf, blasting England as a ‘fascist nightmare.’

Addressing ‘the rest of the world’, it reads: ‘Don’t be fooled by any propaganda you see coming out of the UK this weekend. The mood here is not jubilant, it is sour.

‘England is a fascist nightmare, where there are more food banks than branches of McDonalds.’

Leigh-Anne continued: ‘We don’t want pageantry, we want affordable food, and rent, and bills.

‘The timing of this coronation, with all its gold and bejewelled opulence, couldn’t be more distasteful and sickening.

‘It’s unjustifiable and it’s unwanted. If we’re asking God to save anyone it should be the 14.4million people living in poverty, not the King.’

The comments were initially written by Twitter user Stuart Warwick who said ‘things went a bit crazy; after it gained traction.

Other celebrities to have slammed the coronation include Frankie Boyle, who quipped: ‘The time has come to say farewell to the monarchy. Let’s raise a bottle to them – filled with petrol and a burning rag.’

Billy Bragg, meanwhile, compared pledging allegiance to King Charles to Game of Thrones, saying it didn’t ‘belong in modern democracy.’

Many stars, however, accepted their invitations to the historic event, with the likes of Dame Emma Thompson and Stephen Fry spotted at Westminster Abbey.
