Celebrity Gogglebox stars respond to Boris Johnson resigning as MP with hilarious digs

Celebrity Gogglebox will air reactions to Boris Johnson resigning as an MP and Rob Beckett and Tom Allen didn't hold back.

The pair who are often seen in fits of laughter alongside one another mocked the former Prime Minister who has come under fire in recent years.

Boris, 58, stepped down following a damning report into Partygate which ruled that he deliberately misled Parliament over his illegal lockdown events at Number 10.

During the legally required national lockdown throughout the pandemic, BoJo and several colleagues enjoyed one another's company at Number 10, despite millions of Brits being unable to leave their homes.

Following the enquiry, he announced his resignation from all Parliamentary duties but this hasn't stopped the Celebrity Gogglebox stars from mocking him.

In an exclusive clip, the Mirror can reveal Rob and Tom's thoughts on Boris, with Rob believing his pal should run for office.

"Oh you know what, I'd love it, actually," said Tom before Rob added: "You'd love someone opening the door of a car for you, doing speeches, a few handshakes, visiting a school."

Tom joked: "Oh I just need to make a speech, I just need to inspire someone."

"Oh you'd love to go and see Zelenskyy, wouldn't you, put your green combat trousers on," joked Rob before Tom interrupted saying "Ah, I'm here in the warzone, it's dress up every day, it's like bloody (Ru Paul's) Drag Race."
