Beating off a host of A-listers, producers have today announced that the starring role of Michael Gove in their upcoming blockbuster has gone to a Thunderbirds puppet with a condom over his head.

With only weeks to go before filming begins on the hottest ticket in Hollywood, “Bad Boys of Brexit : The Movie”, Parker is to return to the silver screen.

The erstwhile butler and driver to Lady Penelope was recently in the news when the BBC revealed that he had been paid 40% more than his female co-star. However in a press announcement he was lauded as “the only one who could possibly play this vital role”. They went on to say that “his famed lack of emotion & empathy and his strangely contrived English accent make him ideal for this pivotal role of Michael Gove – and because he has his own condoms.”

It is believed that Mr Parker has been “in character” for 2 weeks. Already he has been assaulted 3 times on the Kings Road and called “a Cunt” by an old lady at Victoria train station.

“We’re delighted” his publicist said.
