Rufus Hound’s live TV takedown of the government over free school meals on Dancing on Ice had everyone cheering
We haven’t cheered this much watching Dancing on Ice since that unfortunate incident with Todd Carty.
It was comedian Rufus Hound who used his appearance on the ITV show’s return on Sunday to tell the government – and the watching nation – exactly what he felt about their policy towards hungry children and free school meals.
He was responding to a question from Phillip Schofield about whether he thought his routine was a bit mad.

The government, you’ll remember, voted against extending free school meals for children over the holidays only to U-turn in the face of a campaign by footballer Marcus Rashford.
“Mate, we live in a world where people we elect don’t want to feed hungry children, so this is the least mad thing that’s happened to me in a long time!”
Boom.
And here are just some of the things people were saying about it.
The way Rufus Hound just called out our government for not feeding hungry children, this man has won already #DancingOnIce

Rufus Hound to Pip Schofield on whether his #DancingOnIce routine was crazy.
“Mate, we live in a world where the people we elect don’t want to feed hungry children. This (routine) is the least crazy thing.”
