Dan Walker has slammed his followers who have been making cruel jokes about the Prime Minister being in hospital. Boris Johnson is in intensive care in St Thomas' after his coronavirus symptoms took a turn for the worse on Monday.
The BBC Breakfast host, 43, has furiously told his Twitter followers to "show some class" after making unkind comments about the PM's illness.
Dan tweeted: "For those sending around vile jokes about the Prime Minister in ICU... please remember the words of The Queen last night: "'I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge.'" Dan added: "Show some class." And many of his followers responded to say they are wishing Johnson well in his recovery.
