On being told Mr Burnham was in No 10, Dyer said: “Yeah, but who is he? I don’t understand. Did anyone vote for him? Because I didn’t vote for him.

“I think we’ve had successive prime ministers that are c***s. End of.”

Asked about this by reporters as he travelled to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Mr Burnham said: “I’m not sure I know who he is. Is he the father-in-law of a West Ham player?”

Dyer’s daughter Dani is married to West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen.
