Paul O'Grady did not mince his words when he gave his opinion on the Conservative leadership debate as he also gave an update on his health.
The 67-year-old TV and radio presenter was struck down by Covid-19 while filming in Malta last week, which saw him laid out for the duration of the trip.
O'Grady appears to have returned home from Malta and updated his 696,000 Instagram followers after his recent health scare.
The start of the lengthy Instagram post read: "I’m still a bit done in from this bloody Covid although I’m no longer contagious and haven’t been for a few days."
The Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs host, who hails from Birkenhead - a town which has had a Labour constituent since 1950 - then divulged into politics as he tried to recover from the lasting effects of Covid-19.
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Foreign Secretary Liz Truss are the two candidates vying to replace Boris Johnson as leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister from September 5.
The pair were in the middle of a heated debate on TalkTV before presenter Kate McCann fainted off-camera, bringing an abrupt end to the second TV debate.
Voicing his opinion on the leadership battle, Paul added: "I’m watching these two planks [Sunak and Truss] trying to persuade us why they’d make a wonderful Prime Minister.
"Truss is banging on about Turbo Charged Toffee, am I hallucinating or what?
"Whilst the other one is insistent that we know he once had a Saturday job in a chemist. To hear him you’d think he’d been forced to work down the mines since he was a child.
"What a carry on, I’d laugh if it didn’t send me off coughing so I’m making do with scornfully curled lip."
He concluded the post: "Once again, thanks for all your kind messages when I was away from home and feeling like I’d been dug up and belted with the shovel."
Paul spoke about suffering "vicious" symptoms and coughing like a "sick donkey" while he contracted the virus on the archipelago in central Mediterranean.
He also revealed that his BBC Radio 2 show last Saturday was pre-recorded as a precaution for delay flights but it was Covid that would have kept him from presenting the show live.
