Rylan Clark has responded to backlash after he hit out at the government’s handling of the small boats crisis on This Morning today (August 27).
Presenters Rylan Clark and Josie Gibson opened the show with the Morning View segment, welcoming Camilla Tominey and Tim Campbell to the show. “We need to talk about Nigel Farage,” Rylan said, before explaining how Farage would tackle the small boats crisis.
Later on Loose Women, Nadia Sawalha also came under fire for her views on the subject. Now, Rylan has spoken out in a grid post on his Instagram.
This Morning host Rylan Clark airs controversial views
Speaking on the ITV daytime show, Rylan said: “So he’s [Farage] come forward and he’s unveiled his party’s plans, Reform, to tackle the small boats crisis. He’s pledging to deport 600,000 illegal migrants in the first term, if Reform get into government. This is so topical at the minute. Is this achievable?” he asked.
Camilla, said that Farage becoming PM is “looking increasingly likely if you’re judging it by the polls”. She also claimed: “Arrivals across the Channel by dingy were up to 51,000 last weekend. The top line is, if you come here illegally, you cannot stay. If you want to come here, apply legitimately for asylum.”
“Yes!” Rylan declared.
Camilla then added: “You cannot arrive here on the back of a lorry or in a dingy or you’ll be sent immediately home. And in the meantime you’re not going to be put in a migrant hotel, you’re going to be put in a detention centre. There are apparently one million people in this country who don’t have a legitimate right to be here.”
