With Brexit on a cliff-edge, it’s fair to assume Theresa May probably doesn’t have a lot of time to watch TV. (Though the PM has previously been filmed flicking through her red box while catching up on The Chase with her husband Philip).
So we can only guess how confused the prime minister was when Labour MP Rupa Huq quizzed her about Fleabag.
Asked what the pair had spoken about when they met for discussions over Brexit on Thursday, Huq said: “I actually asked her if Bodyguard was accurate and she hadn’t seen it.
“So I said: ‘Ah, you’re more of a Fleabag person then?’ And she didn’t know what I was talking about,” Huq added, laughing.
Poor Theresa. (Though who else would pay money to have been a fly on the wall during this conversation?)
But it’s far from the first time May has seen tumbleweeds roll by as she awkwardly discusses her private life.
Who could forget the iconic moment the PM admitted that the naughtiest thing she had ever done was… run through a field of wheat.
“Nobody is perfectly behaved are they,” a rather flustered May said. “I have to confess when me and my friends used to run through the fields of what, the farmers weren’t too happy about that.” (Steady on now, Theresa.)
Meanwhile, when asked how she copes with the “world’s most stressful job”, the prime minister – who looked pretty on edge – said she enjoyed walking, cooking and NCIS.
“I enjoy cooking,” she told an audience at a factory in Gateshead, “which has a benefit because you get to eat it… as well as make it.” (At least she tried.)
