A Labour MP has become a viral sensation on Twitter after she did an impersonation of Boris Johnson.
Rupa Huq, MP for Ealing Central and Acton, was on Channel 4 News to discuss the Boris Johnson burqa row when she launched into an impersonation of the former foreign secretary.
She said: ‘It’s this thing about not taking things seriously, you know, like the old Boris of old: “Oh sorry, I’ve just s***ged your wife, didn’t realise,” that kind of thing.’
Host Krishnan Guru-Murthy replied: ‘I’m not sure that kind of language is ok at this time, let’s not have any more of it.’ He later tweeted a clip of the segment and wrote: ‘It was like being in a room with him for a moment…’

After the interview Dr Huq took to Twitter and said: ‘Meant to say @Channel4News “The Boris of old was mildly amusing but the loveable rogue act’s worn thin and now he’s dangerously pandering to the far right” but never ended sentence… Thanks @krishgm for stepping in before I tried to throw in some Latin to top it off.’
On Twitter viewers were split with some applauding her performance as ‘legendary’ while others slammed her as an ‘idiot’ and called on her to apologise.

This morning Dr Huq, a former sociology lecturer, wrote on Twitter: ‘Boris and me have history – his clown persona has more sinister side.
‘Collateral damage in his wish to be PM are electors of Uxbridge (where he rarely ventures), Nazanin (whose life he endangered) and now Muslim Women (ever-more vulnerable to hate crime).’
She then posted a link to a story from 2015 where she was ‘manhandled’ by a Tory activist after attempting to engage Johnson in a debate about the issues in Ealing.

The incident took place during a walkabout as the then Mayor of London canvassed support for the local Tory candidate, Angie Bray.
The Independent reported that Dr Huq was ‘repeatedly grabbed by the activist who attempts to drag her away from Mr Johnson. He then appears to push Angie Bray branded leaflets across her face.’
Dr Huq, a Cambridge graduate, is the sister of former Blue Peter present Konnie Huq.
Mr Johnson is coming under growing pressure from Remainers to apologise for his burqa comments – or face being kicked out of the party.
The former Foreign Secretary and leading Brexiteer sparked fury saying that women wearing the head coverings look like ‘letter boxes’ or ‘bank robbers’.
And as the row rages on for the fourth day, a string of Tory Remainers have publicly stuck the knife into Mr Johnson – demanding he apologise.

Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson today became the latest to publicly demand Mr Johnson say sorry for the ‘gratuitously offensive’ comments.
Leading Tory Remainers including party chairman Brandon Lewis, Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt and Remainer rebel Heidi Allen, also demanded an apology.
And Tory peer Eric Pickles, a former Conservative party chairman and minister, today said it is possible Mr Johnson will face disciplinary action over the remarks.
And Tory peer Lord Sheikh, president of the Conservative Muslim Forum, has written to party bosses demanding he is kicked out of the party.
But Mr Johnson has far more support among the public – with a Sky poll finding that six out of ten Britons do not think his remarks were racist.
Tory Brexiteers Nadine Dorries and Andrew Bridgen and ex Ukip leader Nigel Farage, have all defended Mr Johnson over the comments.
