Andy Burnham is set to appear on Channel 4’s Gogglebox, becoming the first British prime minister to do so.
Mr Burnham will watch the television shows of the week in a special charity episode on Friday alongside the mayor of Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram.
A trailer for the programme shows “good friends Andy and Steve” talking about crisps inside No 10.
Mr Burnham is no stranger to light-hearted media appearances.
He has ranked pub snacks in a video alongside UK Chancellor John Healey and been quizzed about his career while on a stepladder.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage appeared in a Gogglebox spin-off in 2014 while leader of Ukip.
Asked if it was unfair for Mr Burnham to appear on the show without the leaders of other parties, a spokesman for Mr Farage said: “Nigel has done it before and would happily do it again.”
