But the Boyzlife member, 39, was less than impressed with reports that Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage are in line to replace her.

Instead, the reality favourite wants to appoint a Trump-type figure, describing him as “exactly what Britain needs”.

McFadden told his 349,000 followers: “The fact that Boris, Farage and Jeremy are the front runners to be prime minister is scary!

“Britain is f*****!!! Literally f*****!

“Incredible how many brits jump on the anti trump bandwagon.

“He’s exactly what Britain needs!

“A Britain first at all costs attitude is essential”.

Nigel Farage is not a member of the Conservative Party, whose leader will be the new prime minister.

Fans were quick to respond, with many urging him to delete his account.

Father Ted writer Graham Linehan also replied: “Oof, I thought you boys were done embarrassing Ireland”.

TRUMP TWEETS

The former pop star was previously critical of Trump, tweeting in 2015: “As a man who throughout my career has said some seriously stupid things.

“Even I am baffled by Donald trump!”

The following year he joked: “I want trump to win. In that lets see what he’s gonna do kind of way.

“Like when you’d lick the top of battery even though know what happens.”

Meanwhile McFadden - who left Westlife to start a solo career in 2004 - recently admitted the reformed boyband “probably don’t like” him.

He said: “I speak to Nicky (Byrne) on Twitter.

“They’re kind of like your other celebrity friends.

“Because if you follow each other on Twitter, we’re basically best friends now.

“So yeah I have the odd Twitter chat with Nicky but the rest of us haven’t [kept in touch].

“There’s no bad blood, it’s not like I don’t like them or… well I don’t know if they don’t like me, they probably don’t like me.”

The dad-of-two added: “It’s just one of those things, it’s like you go to college with people, when you leave college you don’t stay hanging out for the rest of your life, you move on.

“You know I’ve lived in Australia for seven years and we’ve lived in different countries, we have different friends and different lifestyles.”
