Ryan Thomas mistakes Keir Starmer for cannibal serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer
Ryan Thomas isn’t quite sure who Keir Starmer is (Picture: TikTok/Getty) Sir Keir Starmer has had a rough run of things recently, having to step down as Labour leader and now being mistaken for an actual serial killer. In a mortifying mix-up, former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas got the outgoing Prime Minister confused with cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer. While on the podcast with his brothers, Adam and Scott, the trio were discussing horror movies, including a ‘true horror’ like ‘Keir Starmer’. ‘I just don’t really like horror movies,’ Scott told his brothers, with Ryan chiming in that he likes true crime, prompting the name confusion. ‘Like, you know, Keir Starmer or whatever it is,’ he continued, prompting a baffled look from Adam as Scott laughed: ‘That’s the prime minister’. It seems the Love Islander missed the big Downing Street update and Ryan’s slip-up left his brothers in stitches. @athomewiththethomasbros RYAN CONFUSES KEIR STARMER JEFFREY DAHMER😂 🚨CLICK THE LINK IN OUR BIO FOR EARLY ACCESS!!🚨 A brand new episode of ‘At Home With The Thomas Bros’ EP:53 is now LIVE To Our BROMIES! 🎙️💛 In this episode, we discuss: 👉 Adam shut down the motorway 👉 RYAN went missing in Ibiza 👉 Keir Starmer 👉 the real reason why Adam doesn’t answer his phone to the team! 👉 SCOTT has deleted WhatsApp #keirstarmer #watsapp #ibiza #jeffreydahmer ♬ original sound – athomewiththethomasbros ‘What’s he called?’ the Celebrity Big Brother star asked as Adam joked: ‘I mean, he is pretty much a horror story!’ Encouraging his brothers, he said it was ‘something Starmer’, prompting them to come up with ‘Jeffrey Llama’. Their production team burst out laughing and corrected the confused trio with the name of cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer. Also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, Dahmer was an American serial killer and sex offender who killed and dismembered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. He was sentenced to jail for 16 terms of life imprisonment in 91 but was beaten to death by another inmate in 1994.

Scott then reminded Ryan he had, in fact, met Sir Keir, to which he confessed: ‘I didn’t even know he was the prime minister at the time’. Unfortunately for the former Labour leader, Ryan not knowing he resided at 10 Downing Street turned out to be slightly prophetic. Sir Keir faced the dreaded lectern outside No 10 earlier this week but has confirmed he will stay on as an MP as his successor steps up to the plate. That successor will almost certainly be Andy Burnham, dubbed the King in the North, who has made his move from Manchester’s mayor to MP over the last few weeks. Maybe the Thomas household has been too busy watching scary movies to pay attention to the political shambles happening in Westminster – and we can’t blame them for that.
