Rufus Hound: Dancing On Ice star causes stir with government jibe 'Don't feed hungry kids'
A second commented: “Rufus Hound just slagging off Boris Johnson on Dancing on Ice! Is there any family show left that doesn’t drag politics into it?”
While a third replied: “Cheap populist shot.”
This particular response caught the eye of The Chase star Jenny Ryan, who defended her friend Rufus over his comments.
She typed back: “I dunno, Pat, I don’t think 1.4 million lunches is all that cheap.”
Rufus also addressed the backlash, as he tweeted in view of his one million followers: “To the people who want to be cross with me – you were never going to be my friend. I wish it were different, but such is the world we now live in. To everyone else, thanks for all your lovely messages. I will try to keep doing funny ice dances for you x.”
