- ■ by CHLOE STEWART

BASIL Brush told the Daily Star he wants campaignin­g footie hero Marcus Rashford to be PM, with himself as deputy – and free Jelly Babies for all.

BASIL Brush has called for Marcus Rashford to become Prime Minister and says he’d like to be his deputy.

The cunning fox – known for his “boom boom” catchphras­e – praised Manchester United ace Marcus, 22, for his campaign to end child food poverty.

He told the Daily Star: “I’d give it to Marcus Rashford because I’ve become his biggest fan. He can talk the talk. I love him very much. I would like to be his deputy, if you ask me. I like the way that Marcus Rashford does things, because he does things on the quiet.”

In an exclusive chat with Daily Star Online, the TV favourite admitted he’s not so sure about Eastenders hardman Danny Dyer.

Basil said: “All I can picture is Danny running the country and telling the Speaker to go and do one.”

If Basil was in charge at No10, he said his first law would be ensuring “free Jelly Babies” for everyone.

He says he reads the Daily Star every day and understand­s Ant and Dec’s “dilemma” over not being able to play golf during breaks in I’m A Celeb filming, as we reported.

But he added: “They’re meant to be doing work, not spend four hours a day on the golf course.”

Basil will be in panto Cinderella at the Theatre Royal Windsor from November 26.

BASIL Brush has always been a cunning fox.

The children’s TV legend is as astute as he is witty.

In a wide- ranging and hilarious live chat on your Daily Star Facebook page, our furry friend ranted about everything from Ant and Dec to Kylie.

And while Basil certainly doesn’t take any prisoners, he’s also a good judge of character.

So he might be on to something after tipping hero Marcus Rashford to be Prime Minister – with himself as the deputy.

Well, they couldn’t be any worse than the clowns currently in charge.

And his number one policy priority sounds like a vote- winner.

Free Jelly Babies for everyone?

Yes please!
