Woke lefties on social media branded Catherine Tate “racist” after she was announced as the UK’s spokeswoman for the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest.

The actor and comedian, 53, will deliver the results of the country’s national jury – including the coveted “douze points” – live from the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool on Saturday.

But just 24 hours after her role was confirmed, some people online are already demanding that she be fired.

In a comedy sketch from 2006, the actor mocked Britons’ inability to speak other languages in her “The Catherine Tate Show”.
