Hollywood star Josh Hartnett has spoken out about the Downing Street parties investigation, saying that the government should be "afraid".

When asked by host Susanna Reid if he had been "gripped" by the current news surrounding the Downing Street lockdown parties and if the government should be afraid, he said: "How could you not be? It's all that's on the news.

"I mean, of course they should be afraid. This doesn't look good. People were having a very difficult time at that time, it's hard to believe that they were living it up."

Susanna agreed, saying the situation had "appalled" and "shocked everybody" before moving the interview on. 

Josh went on to talk about his new drama, The Fear Index, which is based on a 2011 novel by Robert Harris and focuses on a scientist-turned-wall street tycoon who becomes the target of a plot to destroy the world's financial markets.
