Dan Stevens calls Boris Johnson a ‘criminal leader’ on BBC's One Show
BBC
Dan Stevens left The One Showhosts speechless after calling out Boris Johnson live on air.
On Wednesday's episode, the Downtown Abbey actor sat down with Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas to discuss his upcoming series Gaslit.
He kickstarted by describing the show's plot, saying: "What you’ve got is a criminal for a leader who is wrapped in a messy war, embroiled in a stupid scandal and surrounded by ambitious idiots and really should resign."
Stevens then jokingly corrected himself with a not-so-subtle snub against the prime minister: “No, I’m sorry, that’s the intro to Boris Johnson.”

The presenters were left stunned by the unexpected comment, with Jenas hiding his face from the camera. Gasps could also be heard around the studio.
The remark comes after calls for Johnson to resign following Partygate fines. He is the first sitting prime minister ever found to have broken the law.
From celebrity walkouts to cringe-worthy comments, here are the craziest moments of all time from The One Show:
Morrissey’s job history
The former Smiths frontman certainly doesn't shy away from a controversial opinion. Back in 2009, he was asked about being on benefits in the 70s – and gave the presenters the exact opposite of what they wanted.
Morrissey admitted he was "quite happy to be unemployed because [he] didn't want to work."
"I didn't want to have a job," he candidly added.
"I couldn’t think of a job I wanted to do, so I thought I shouldn’t do any."

Gary Barlow walks out
The Take That star stormed off set, leaving BBC viewers concerned. Angela Scanlon and Richard Osman continued to conduct the interview when Mark said: “I feel a bit weird now.”
Howard assured: “He’ll be alright.”

Richard Branson's dance moves
Sir Richard Branson certainly made his mark on The One Show when he hopped on top of the table and busted out his best moves. Branson told hosts that he doesn't have the skills for Strictly Come Dancing, but he is a keen table dancer.
"Table dancing I'm good at," he admitted. "All our tables at Necker (Island) are made for dancing."
No one could have predicted what would happen next...

David Cameron's sleep pattern
Things took an awkward turn when presenter Matt Baker asked the ex prime minister about his sleep pattern, quizzing: "How on earth do you sleep at night?"
A confused Cameron responded: "Erm, I've always been able to sleep, OK.
"At the end of the day, if you are exhausted, you will make the wrong decisions."

James May and Richard Hammond return to the BBC
In 2016, the pair took a seat on the red sofa to promote their upcoming Amazon series, The Grand Tour.
Angellica Bell awkwardly took a swipe at the former Top Gear hosts, saying, "It's all top secret because your employers want to sell their subscriptions."
And it went all downhill from there.
