ITV's beloved daytime host Lorraine Kelly has delivered a brutally honest, three-word verdict on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's recent appearance on This Morning, and it's taken the internet by storm.
Following what many viewers are calling a 'disastrous' interview with hosts Craig Doyle and Josie Gibson, Kelly took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share her unfiltered thoughts. In a post that has since gone viral, she simply wrote: "Total car crash".
The Prime Minister's interview was intended to discuss the government's new policy to get the unemployed back into work. However, it quickly veered off course, with Sunak facing intense and unexpected scrutiny over his own wealth and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis affecting millions of Brits.
A Tense Exchange on This Morning
The interview became notably awkward when Josie Gibson directly questioned the PM on how he relates to ordinary people struggling with financial pressures. She pointedly asked: "How do you relate to someone that hasn't got two pennies to rub together?"
Sunak's response, which involved discussing his parents' profession in the NHS and his background in finance, failed to land well with many watching at home. The conversation then took a more surreal turn when the topic of the controversial Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins emerged, leaving many baffled.
Viewers and Pundits React
The public reaction was swift and merciless. Social media erupted with criticism, with one viewer commenting: "That was the most car crash interview I've ever seen. He came across as completely out of touch with reality."
Another added: "Josie Gibson absolutely schooled the Prime Minister. She asked the questions everyone wanted answers to." The widespread consensus suggests the interview did little to improve public perception of the Prime Minister, with Lorraine Kelly's succinct summary perfectly capturing the mood of the nation.
