The broadcaster slammed the uproar as a “preposterous fuss about nothing.”
Piers added: “I thought you pulled some quite groovy shapes, @AngelaRayner – but regardless, I want our politicians fit and rested, not mentally/physically exhausted.”
During a Thursday interview with Sky News, Rayner explained: “I was on holiday for a couple of days, I mean you can criticise my dancing, it is subjective.
“I take my job really seriously and what I do and I’m always in Parliament and I’m always doing what needs to be done and I’ll continue to do that.”
She continued: “But I also believe as a former trade unionist that… you’ve got to have downtime as well. Everybody has to have downtime.
“But I do take my job really seriously and like to talk about what I’m doing to help other people.”
The Labour politician added: “Yes I’m working-class, I like a dance, I like dance music.
“I got criticised for going to the opera if you remember. I was a champagne socialist for going to the theatre.”
Alongside Piers, Vanessa Feltz also defended Rayner against a caller on LBC who called her the “Vicky Pollard,” of the Labour Party as she called them out for being “snobby.”
