Actress Miriam Margolyes has sparked outrage by admitting she hoped Boris Johnson would die when he was struck down by coronavirus.
The Harry Potter star, 78, made the shocking comments in a rant on Channel 4 comedy chat show The Last Leg on Friday night.
It comes just days after the Prime Minister revealed that doctors were preparing to announce his death in case he lost his battle with the virus, as he admitted he was 'a lucky man'.
But in an incredible outburst, Margolyes told viewers: 'I wanted him to die'.
What a disgusting old cow!

Well, really, I can't work you out either, Lio.
You think it's alright for a social commentator like Miriam Margolyes to wish death on a sitting PM, but you'r all outraged about a broadcaster to advise a cpl of backhanders against another sitting PM.
Get real.
But she's not a 'social commentator', Icy - she's a comedian on a comedy show.
And hardly worth getting your knickers in a knot over.

I did say droll.
If we all liked the same comedy, it would be a boring old world.
My poor old mum would absolutely wet herself if someone fell over - even more if they were hurt.
Now I always found that weird.
That's ironic, I must be more like your Mum because I've split my sides when I've seen a few people fall over. King Kong was the same with Naomi Watts - I laughed with him too.

Hands up who hasn't secretly wished Trump would get the virus.
Not that I want him to die of it.
