Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha also joined in with the Prime Minister posts.

Like Ricky, she photoshopped a picture of herself outside the leader’s official residence.

She commented: “Everyone else has had a go. Let’s roll the [dice] My turn. After all it’s all just a game isn’t it? Isn’t it?”

Many backed the idea of Nadia running the country including Katie Piper, who wrote: “Why not, you would be great.”

Other stars mocked Liz’s exit on social media. 

On Twitter, Iain Stirling wrote: “Liz Truss’s reign as Prime Minster was shorter than a series of Love Island.”

Richard Osman commented: “No-one used to resign until I resigned from ‘Pointless’. Now they’re all at it. I think I made it cool.”

Gary Lineker typed: “Another Prime Minister resigns. Would you fracking believe it?”

A new Prime Minister will be announced next week.
