The Great Gatsby star, 31, blasted the government at a conference in New York today, where she stepped up to discuss the migrant crisis.

Appalled by the way the UK has dealt with the "600 unaccompanied minors" at the French port, Carey told The Telegraph: "There is literally no excuse for what is going on there. It's shameful."

She added: "And I'm very proud to be British, and think we do great things, and it is worth remembering that we are one of the biggest donor countries, but because of our inaction when it comes to 600 unaccompanied minors in Calais, it makes me ashamed to be British."
