Coronation Street actor Simon Gregson has been branded as "thick as Steve McDonald" after he posted a bizarre tweet defending Dominic Cummings.
The Corrie star, who has played dim-witted Steve for 31 years, too to Twitter to shares his views after the embattled Downing Street aide's press conference today.
Speaking in the gardens of Number 10, Cummings declared he left London during lockdown and drove to his parents' country estate to get help with childcare.
His excuses - which included driving an hour to a beauty spot to test his eyesight - sparked much derision, but Gregson spoke out in Cummings' favour.
