Punk icon Johnny Rotten has thrown his support behind controversial anti-immigration figureheads Donald Trump and Nigel Farage.
The former Sex Pistols singer, whose real name is John Lydon, made the comments on Good Morning Britain with hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid.
Rotten said he could be friends with Trump, who he calls a "complicated fella", and even suggested the former Celebrity Apprentice host could be a "political Sex Pistol".
"What I dislike is the left-wing media in America are trying to smear the bloke as a racist, and that's completely not true," said Rotten, who has been accused of racism himself.
"There just might be a chance something good will come out of that situation, because he terrifies politicians and this is a joy to behold to me."
With regards to controversial British political figure and former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who spearheaded the Brexit campaign, Rotten says he is "fantastic".
"The working class have spoken and I'm one of them and I'm with them," he said.
In recent years, Rotten has been plagued by negative stories and controversy.
In 2008, he allegedly told Welsh singer Duffy a "f**k off, you c**t" after she tried to hug him backstage at the MOJO Honours List awards. She claims he slammed her against a wall and pinned her there with his arm against her throat.
Also in 2008, Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke accused Rotten and his entourage of hurling racist abuse at him and physically attacking him at the Summercase festival in Spain.
In 2010, he settled a case out of court in which he was accused of punching a female TV producer in the face after calling her a "c**t".
Later that year, Rotten criticised Elvis Costello for having "compassion for Palestinians". He added "until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won't understand how anyone can have a problem with how they're treated".
In 2013, Rotten was labelled "a flat out, sexist, misogynist pig" by one of the panellist's on The Project in Australia after he told co-host Carrie Bickmore to "shut up" and not interrupt "when a man is talking".
