Despite being a presenter on the show, Kevin made an appearance as a guest, discussing the recent riots across Europe with Jeremy Kyle . Over the weekend, a wave of violence swept across Europe in countries such as Spain, France and Portugal, as people protested over their unhappiness at the state of schools and the wider cost of living crisis. French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said the "ultra-left" was behind the unrest in several cities across the country.

"It's because all of the leaders of these countries ignore us, including Burnham, including every prime minister we've had for the last two decades. They're more interested in meeting up with each other in glamorous places for international summits like last week," Kevin fumed. "They are completely out of touch with the people on the ground." Slamming the government, Kevin continued: "We're sick to death of immigration. We're sick to death of the migrant crisis. And what is our prime minister saying today? ' We got to do something about loud music on trains .' Thanks, Andy." He went on to describe Shabana Mahmood's migrant crisis crackdown as a "total sham", revealing 200,000 people granted indefinite leave to remain since ministers proposed tough restrictions last year. Strictly has been dealt most devastating blow yet - BBC bosses never saw it coming Angela Rayner leaves BBC Breakfast host speechless as she refuses to answer question Kevin issued a humiliating takedown of Burnham, branding him a "northern idiot" in a two-word putdown after he claimed to be listening to people in Britain. "I would say to Andy Burnham, you call yourself the listening prime minister, start bloody well listening because you're not listening so far. What are you trying to do? You northern idiot," Kevin raged. "You're trying to rejoin the EU. Look at the EU. It's on fire! The countries are in revolt. That sclerotic organisation is falling apart at the seams and the only thing this Labour government can think of is let's get back in with it."
