Carol said she wants one of the ‘decent’ Pride of Britain winners to be the next prime minister, following Truss’ resignation after a disastrous 44 days at the top.

Speaking of the winners, she said: ‘These people are all about decency, about goodness, about kindness, and about bravery and courage.

‘I wish some of them were running the country to be perfectly honest or had some major part in it – that’s what we need in the House of Parliament at the moment.’ 

Her comments come after Liz Truss became the shortest serving prime minister in British history.

Fuming: The presenter, 61, appeared on This Morning and launched an attack on the government and former prime minister Liz Truss as she called for ‘kind’ people in Parliament

She announced her resignation outside Number 10 Downing Street at 1.30pm on Thursday after a disastrous 44 days at the top.

Her time serving as prime minister was a long way behind the next shortest premiership, that of Tory statesman George Canning, who spent 118 full days as PM in 1827 before dying in office from ill health.

Between her and her handpicked Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, they crashed the economy, devalued the pound and sent mortgage rates soaring.

Amid the Tory leadership race, Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt look best-placed to hit the high threshold of 100 nominations from politicians required to feature on the ballot.

Mr Johnson is believed to be flying back early from a family holiday in the Dominican Republic and is said to be ‘taking soundings’ on whether to stand again for the Tory leadership after the humiliating resignation of Truss.

It has prompted fears of a wave of resignations among Tory MPs should Mr Johnson – who was forced out amid a series of scandals only six weeks ago – win a second spell as the party’s leader.

Carol’s call for a Pride of Britain winner to be the next prime minister comes after the list of winners were revealed ahead of the awards’ broadcast on October 27 at 8pm.

Co-hosted by Carol and Ashley Banjo, the awards will feature extraordinary stories of bravery, selflessness and phenomenal fundraising feats.

Winners include Lucy Montgomery, 15, who saved the lives of a young boy and her father before coming close to being swept to her death in a river and three fathers who raised more than £880,000 for charity after losing their daughters to suicide.
