Stanley Johnson's claim it's 'OK to murder wife for ruining eggs' shocks Loose Women viewers

The I'm A Celeb favourite, 78, had panellist Stacey Solomon and fellow guest Professor Green shaking their heads in disbelief as he gave his views on the various degrees of murder.

Explaining how he once campaigned for the release of a man convicted of the crime in France, he explained: "One chap told me his son had committed a terrible crime, like murdering someone, and he was in prison in a French jail and would I kindly help.

"And, I wrote to the French Minister of Justice, and the French Minister of Justice said, 'well, I’ve let him out'.

"So, I thought that was superb, so I wrote a letter to the father to say: 'Good news, your son has been let out of jail' and I never got an answer."

The former politician tried explaining the French's murder laws, but Stacey responded: "I mean, murder is murder to me."

It was then Stanley delivered his controversial gag, telling her: "You’re allowed to hit your wife over the head if she’s got the scrambled eggs wrong."

Viewers couldn't believe it, writing on Twitter: "I *think* Stanley Johnson just said on #LooseWomen that its ok to murder your wife if she makes eggs wrong. And he got a murderer freed from jail? I hope I've got that wrong. I really do.

"@loosewomen Stanley Johnson that was shocking! And neither @nadiasawalha or @StaceySolomon challenged that?? It will be on talking heads tv clip shows for years to come, the man has lost his marbles!

"HANG ON!!! Did Stanley Johnson just admit to getting a murderer freed in order to justify that politicians have emotions????? Wtf am I witnessing #LooseWomen.

"@loosewomen Who on earth thought that having Stanley Johnson on the panel of Loose women would be a good idea? What a dinosaur the man is, who wants to listen to his outdated opinions?!!"
