Kemi Badenoch is 'amazed' Andy Burnham has time for Gogglebox after he became the first PM on the show

Badenoch said she worried that between Gogglebox and 'talking about stockpiling canned goods', ministers were not protecting the country. She told BBC Breakfast it 'takes hours to do' and that she never had time for it even as a junior minister. Burnham hit back that he would 'make no apology' for leading with lightness. The Channel 4 special raised money for Stand Up To Cancer.

Burnham sat with Liverpool mayor Steve Rotheram, drinking beer and eating pork scratchings.

He joked: 'The King will be pleased with me when I see him for my audience next week.'

Burnham fought back tears watching cancer stories, saying: 'It's devastating for that family.'
