Andy Burnham is to become the first prime minister on Celebrity Gogglebox just two weeks before his maiden Budget

Andy Burnham is to become the first prime minister on Celebrity Gogglebox just two weeks before his maiden Budget

Shadow Culture Minister Louie French said: "We know what Andy Burnham's favourite crisps are and can watch him on GoggleBox. He is not a serious PM." The Labour leader filmed the Stand Up To Cancer special on the Downing Street sofa with Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram. It airs on Channel 4 at 9.05pm on Friday. In the trailer, Burnham says Twiglets are "probably the best".

Rotheram joined so his old friend wouldn't look like "Billy No-Mates" alone on the No 10 sofa.

One viewer asked: "Has somebody reminded him as prime minister he actually has to do some work?"

Jeremy Corbyn took a seat on the same charity special back in 2017.
