Andrea Jenkyns says she liked Boris Johnson as PM

BBC's Have I Got News For You presenter Ian Hislop has sparked backlash as he butted heads with former Conservative MP Andrea Jenkyns on the latest episode of the show.

Andrea said that she thought Boris Johnson was one of the country's better Prime Ministers, and was quickly met with boos from the audience.

As she accused the show of pre-selecting a biased crowd, Ian turned to her and said: "You can't just say: you've selected the audience, you've got no evidence for that, no proof, it's just b*llocks.. This isn't GB News."

The pair sniped at each other throughout the show, leading viewers to take to social media to hit out at Ian Hislop for his comments.

One said: "The presenter looked embarrassed. Ian Hislop used to be funny but now seems very unpleasant. This show used to be funny but has not for several years."

Another added: "Ian Hislop is one of those little people who was bullied as a kid in school. His humour is to ridicule and target individuals. His audience may not be pre selected but it's usually full of likeminded champagne Socialist d**kheads. I applaud @andreajenkyns for calling them out."

A third chipped in: "Pretty obvious @andreajenkyns was 100% correct, Ian Hislop knew he was playing to a left wing crowd.. even if not entirely 'picked' by the HIGNFY socialists, the program has lurched so far to the left, it will naturally attract them."

A fourth raged: "Ian Hislop confirming he’s a smug little s**t on #Hignfy tonight. Also clearly shown that the audience is full of hand picked lefty’s."

A fifth agreed: "If this show gets any more left wing, it'll make Lenin look like a conservative. Ian Hislop is starting to make me uncomfortable."

But one fan argued: "Fantastic show tonight. Miles Jupp and Paul Merton were superb, as for Ian Hislop surely his best broadcast for a long time (not that the other ones weren’t good that is)."

Have I Got News For You airs Fridays at 9pm on BBC1.
