In the wake of the local elections, Dame Sheila Hancock, who praised Winston Churchill on The One Show on the BBC, savagely expressed her views on the UK political scene.
British icon Dame Sheila Hancock called all UK politicians “lying gits” in a scathing dig on The One Show last night.
The 92-year-old actress appeared on the BBC show to discuss her role at the VE Day concert on Thursday. Talking to Alex Jones and Roman Kemp, Dame Sheila praised Winston Churchill, famously our prime minister during World War Two.
In a cutting comparison, she lauded Mr Churchill’s honesty and slammed the “lying gits” she believes are in office today. The actress, who has had roles in EastEnders and sitcoms including The Rag Trade, Mr Digby Darling and Now, Take My Wife, said: “Don’t you just love Churchill? He always told the truth. He said ‘we will probably be invaded, we will fight them on the beaches, we will do all that but we will never surrender.’ He never promised us anything. All the lying gits we have at the moment promise all sorts of things and he never did… I’m sorry.”
During World War Two, Dame Sheila, who was born on the Isle of Wight in 1933, was forced to flee with her family. On Thursday, she and other stars, including Dames Joan Collins and Mary Berry, will raise the memorial and pay homage to those who served and made sacrifices.

On the One Show’s couch on Monday, Ross Kemp and Sophie Raworth, a newsreader for the BBC, and Ross Kemp, a presenter and actor, were present. Sophie and I discussed plans for the concert in central London and the rest of VE Anniversary week.
Dame Sheila said she hopes the performance will highlight the need “to make a better world” in the modern day. The mother of two, who was last in BBC crime drama The Sixth Commandment in 2023, continued: “I pray that now, rather than looking back and thanking the veterans, we thank them by making sure it doesn’t happen again, and making sure that we make a better world, the only way we are going to solve the huge problems that we have in the world is to unite, love and care for one another worldwide, not within the country. That is the greatest gift that we can give for the lovely people who gave their lives for us.”
