Saturday Night Live UK‘s cold open took aim at Prime Minister Andy Burnham‘s bean stockpile with some help from a few familiar British TV personalities.
On this weekend’s episode of the sketch comedy show, George Fouracres played Prime Minister Andy Burnham with Emma Sidi as Liverpool’s Mayor Steve Rotheram, poking fun at the pair’s Stand Up to Cancer special Friday on Celebrity Gogglebox.
As the pair channel-flipped through Channel 4, Burnham down a whole canister of Twiglets following the PM’s reveal of his favorite doomsday-prepping snacks.
Landing on Celebrity Traitors, Celeste Dring did an impression of host Claudia Winkleman. “What happens when we take 22 celebrities who are too famous to play the game seriously or care whether or not they win, and put them in a castle? The answer: not much, to be honest,” she said.
