Scarlett Moffatt talks Boris Johnson and takes a hilarious swipe at Katie Hopkins on Gogglebox Brexit special
The telly addicts had some witty quips while discussing all the recent political news
SCARLETT Moffatt took a hilarious swipe at Katie Hopkins on the Gogglebox Brexit special on Wednesday night.
The telly addict said Theresa May making Boris Johnson Foreign Secretary was "absolute madness" and compared it to "making Katie Hopkins the motivational speaker at a Weight Watchers' convention".
The standout star of the Channel 4 show had a few witty quips throughout the episode including scoffing at the disastrous launch of Angela Eagle's bid for the Labour leadership saying: "Angela Eagle?! I'd rather have Eddie the Eagle!"
Scarlett's mum Betty wasn't impressed by Boris saying: "Look at what a scruffy mess. Look at the state of him, man."
Meanwhile, Scarlett also confessed that she didn't vote in the EU referendum.
She said she was away on the day and didn't bother registering for a postal vote as she didn't know which way to vote.
She said: "No, now I did [register] but then it came to it – I didn’t know if I wanted to be in or out.
"I thought, I don’t want to just vote on a whim, because I don’t want in a week’s time to be like, 'I should have voted that'. So I thought it’s best if I don’t vote."
