Miriam Margolyes told Radio 4 what she wanted to call Jeremy Hunt and it’s an NSFW delight
Miriam Margolyes is famously straight-talking as anyone who has watched her on the Graham Norton Show (or indeed anywhere else) will testify.
So perhaps Radio 4’s Today programme should have know what might be coming after she appeared on the programme after new chancellor, Jeremy Hunt.
Miriam was on the show to talk about the great Robbie Coltrane, who has died aged 72, but the conversation turned to Hunt, who’d been sitting in the studio chair before her.
And this happened (wait for it …)

A joy to start the day to Miriam Margolyes saying ‘Fuck you’ on Radio 4. I love her reliability!

Feel sorry for the today programme producers who are now going to have to find someone to come on and say fuck you labour.
