Dirk hoped Boris Johnson would be in house

Dirk has told how he hoped controversial Tory MP Boris Johnson would be in the house.

The group was recalling rumours about who was booked in the run-up to the show. The actor commented: "I didn't know until the last minute - I wasn't booked," while Ian recalled: "It was in the newspaper as soon as I agreed, and I didn't tell anybody."

Dirk said he had hoped rumours of the high-profile politician, infamous for his affairs and gaffes, were true. "He is very funny - I've heard him speak," he explained. "I thought he'd be great."

The rest of the group - including Brits Jo and Ian - were unmoved, however, not having heard of Johnson. Disappointed, Dirk inquired: "You guys don't follow politics?"
