Rylan Clark hit out at undocumented migrants entering Britain during an impassioned speech on This Morning which he accepted was 'going to upset someone'.
The ITV presenter praised immigrant doctors and nurses for saving his mother Linda's life in hospital, saying they were paying taxes and 'helping this country thrive'.
But Clark claimed there was 'something wrong' about those crossing the English Channel in small boats being 'welcomed' and given medical help, a hotel and food.
The 36-year-old also spoke about the 'amount of people that are in this country that we have no idea who they are, what they've done, what they're capable of'.
And Clark contrasted the situation with the amount of homeless people and veterans living on the UK's streets, adding: 'Something major needs to be done about this.'
