Janey also recreated Liz's acceptance speech which left fans laughing. She said: "Well that's me I've won it! I'm the Prime Minster! I know, Margaret Thatcher light! Noo I'm going to be getting some flock wallpaper, some lovely sideboards and some Cafe Du Monde ornaments, the whole lot for 10 Downing Street!"
And fans were quick to comment saying they don't know wether to laugh or cry. One wrote: "Only you Janey can make us laugh rather than cry about this whole .... show."
Another added: "Thatcher Lite! Love it!" While one said: "Honestly Janey only you can make this utter s*** show better. Thank you."
Whilst one said: "The material is going to be endless ….Margaret Thatcher Light is inspired!"
