This Morning guest Drillminister stuns Phillip Schofield with shocking Boris Johnson suggestion

This Morning viewers were left alarmed by a 'man in a balaclava' who made a wild suggestion about Prime Minister Boris Johnston which stunned host Phillip Schofield.

The man in question is Drillminister, a rapper and aspiring Mayor of London, who has now made a number of rather controversial appearances on the ITV show, although many viewers still don't know who he is.

Drillminister returned to This Morning on Thursday to discuss an number of news topics with Phillip, co-host Holly Willoughby and guest Amanda Lamb.

One of the issues on the agenda was that of a new coronavirus antibody test that could potentially 'end lockdown' and Phillip and Holly posed the question as to if people finding out they'd had COVID-19 would encourage "reckless behaviour" and they'd do things that they probably weren't meant to do.

Drillminister shocked them all when he responded: "I think the answer to that is pretty simple. If you wanna work out if people have got it or not, Boris has had it; let's stick him on a plane, send him to Wuhan, if he survives then we're good to go!"

Referencing Miriam Margolyes who caused controversy last week with her comments about the Prime Minister last week, Phillip jumped in to say: "lets not turn into Miriam Margoyles here!"

Viewers at home were very much taken aback by Drillminister. One tweeted: "why on earth have this morning got an idiot spouting rubbish wearing a balaclava on air," and another reacted: "Just stuck my TV on, some guy is on This Morning with a balaclava on saying send Boris to Wuhan & see if he’s immune."
