Danny Dyer has furiously branded Prime Minister Keir Starmer 'no leader' and a 'f*****g non-entity' in a foul-mouthed rant.
The actor, 47, slammed the leader of the Labour party and said the country should be run by 'real working class people' not 'middle-class pretenders'.
He told The Telegraph:'[Kier] a f****** non-entity. I feel sorry for the people when he goes to a factory and they put these poor people behind him and you can tell they all hate his guts'.
'We need a leader. He's not a leader. I don't know what the f*** he is. He's only in power because the Tories were such c****'.
He added: 'Where's the working-class people? They should be running our country, not people pretending they're working class because they've had a pint in a pub'.
It comes after Danny said that despite being 'proudly working class' himself, his kids have never travelled on a bus and always go 'door to door' in a £200K Bentley.
Earlier this year the former EastEnders star got a grilling about claims he sent his son to private school in ITV 's show The Assembly.
Each episode saw a different celebrity face questions from a group of autistic, neurodivergent and learning disabled people, which forced them to cast aside their media training, with no topic off limits.
Also questioned were ex Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker, 64, Doctor Who star David Tennant, 54, and ex-Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall, 32.
Danny was asked by one of the interviewers: 'How working class are you to send your son to a private school?'.
To which he responded: 'I am a working-class kid and I am very proud of my roots. We moved to a better place where we could bring the children up.
'I have put my children in a private school, but now they're not street wise. I don't regret it but there's a part of me that I wish I could instil a little bit of knowing what it's like to struggle into them.
'But like anyone, if you have kids you want to give them everything you can and it can backfire on you slightly, because now, they get driven around in a Bentley. I've got a Bentley. I walked everywhere as a kid or got a bus.
'My kids have never been on a bus, they don't have to. Because they get driven door to door in a Bentley.'
Danny , who hails from east London, and his wife Joanne have three children – Sunnie, 18, Arty, 11, and reality star Dani, 28, who won the fourth series of ITV dating show Love Island.
He revealed earlier this March that they were going to send his son to a private school in Chigwell.
Asked on The Assembly show how he felt about her going on the dating show and being a nepo baby, he responded: 'She is but by default and I think that's why she got on the show.
'I never wanted her to do it because I heard people have sex on that show. As a father I don't want to see any of that. She didn't tell me until the last minute and she just went. She was such a beautiful human being on it. So actually, it worked out really well with her. She was working in a pub before that.
'She is a nepo baby but what's wrong with that?.'
Meanwhile Danny recently teased season two of smash hit series Rivals and lifted the lid on his career reinvention since his EastEnders exit in 2022.
The star, who plays Freddie Jones in the saucy Disney+ show, reassured fans that they have no need to worry about the new instalment failing to live up to its predecessor.
He told Radio Times: 'I can't reveal much, but what I will say is that we've got no issues with the old second album syndrome. I've been blessed with a lovely character. He's not the lead and he doesn't need to be the lead, same as Katherine [Parkinson who plays love interest, Lizzie Vereker]'.
Danny, who won a BAFTA earlier this year for Sky comedy Mr Bigstuff, also revealed there would be a 'bit more' of his character's love life in the new episodes.
He also spoke about his other roles including the sole character in a new movie, which he said had first been offered to Oscar winner Sir Gary Oldman, 67.
He told the publication: 'Fifteen pages of dialogue a day. Crazy. We shot it in Dublin. I just sat in the hotel room with the script. Went crazy by the end. I believe they went to Gary Oldman first. They told me he wanted £2 million just to read it'.
'But I was next in line, which I'm chuffed with. If you go Gary Oldman and I'm next, it's because I'm obviously cheaper. I'm happy to be a cheaper version of Gary Oldman.'
MailOnline have contacted Gary Oldman's representatives for comment.
Alongside the interview Danny looked dapper in a suit as he posed for a fun shoot in a pub with Mr Bigstuff co-star and creator Ryan Sampson.
Danny starred as Mick Carter in the BBC soap for nine years, earning a whopping quarter of a million pounds a year at the height of his stint, before his explosive exit on Christmas Day 2022.
