Miriam Margolyes attended the BBC News studios on Saturday morning to pay moving tribute to her longtime friend and sometime co-star Robbie Coltrane, but listeners stopped in their tracks when she spontaneously let rip on another subject.
Margolyes played Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films alongside Coltrane who starred as Hagrid, and had previously starred with him in TV comedy shows.

Margolyes, a well-known left-wing critic of the Tory government, started well, reporting that she had told Hunt, “When I saw him there, I just said, ‘You have a hell of a job. The best of luck.'”
But then, she added, “What I wanted to say was, ‘F*** you!’ – before immediately agreeing with the presenters, “You can’t say that.”
