Prominent British actress Miriam Margolyes, who played Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter saga, was asked to leave the BBC Radio 4 studio during her interview on Today after she used the f-word to slam Jeremy Hunt, the country’s latest chancellor of the exchequer.Recalling her previous encounter with Hunt, Margolyes said during the interview that she told him “You've got a hell of a job, best of luck”."No, you can't say that,” host Justin Webb concurred. “We’ll have to have you out of the studio now.”Many social media users, however, cheered on Miriam over her remarks, voicing their admiration for her.“Miriam Margolyes speaks for the nation! I don’t really approve of swearing but used in a specific context it can be very effective,” one netizen remarked.“When I heard she was on after Hunt I got the popcorn out-and tbh it could have been sooo much worse,” quipped another.Another social media user called Margolyes “a national treasure”.
