Britain's Eurovision entrant is a Left-wing activist who hates Boris Johnson, it has emerged as the BBC is accused of having a lack of “common sense” for choosing her to represent the UK.
Mae Muller, who is set to perform her track I Wrote A Song next month, made the comments as Johnson was receiving medical treatment for the virus.
In a series of tweets, Muller also branded the Conservative Party “racist and elitist”, campaigned for Jeremy Corbyn and said “I hate this country” in a row over free school meals.
The 25-year-old, who grew in popularity on TikTok, was chosen by BBC bosses in partnership with management company TaP Music in the hope that she could win the contest on May 13.

While former Prime Minister Johnson remained in intensive care for a third day at St Thomas’ Hospital in London on April 8, 2020, Muller wrote a tweet saying: “Unpopular opinion but I do not feel sorry for Boris Johnson.
“Yes, he is human, yes, he has kids, but so do 100s of other people who have actually died due to Tory policies. Taking up a bed in intensive care but you’re not on a ventilator and in ‘high spirits’? Nah mate.”
In a second tweet, she said: “The same nurses you praise in your speeches are the same nurses you chose to cut all their benefits, and cheered while doing it.
“The same nurses that can’t even afford protective wear, and are literally dying because of you. Boris does not have my sympathy and never will.”
The previous night saw Downing Street describe Johnson as “stable” and “in good spirits” as it was confirmed that he did not have pneumonia and was not on a ventilator – but would remain in intensive care “for close monitoring”.
Ahead of the 2019 general election, the singer tweeted “f— the Tories” as she backed Jeremy Corbyn.
Adding: “Please register to vote today! And when you do vote please vote Labour! We have the power to take these racist elitists down so let’s do it!”
After Johnson won the election, she tweeted again saying: “f— Boris”, and when he tested positive for Covid she quoted his previous comments about shaking hands with Covid patients to say: “LOL life comes at you fast Boris.”
Lee Anderson, deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, criticised the Eurovision entrant's “vile Left-wing slurs” and accused the BBC of a lack of “common sense” for choosing her to represent the UK.

“It’s starting to look like vile Left-wing slurs are actually something the BBC requires from people it wants to promote," the MP for Ashfield told the Telegraph.
“You’d think after the Lineker fiasco they’d have used some common sense but it just goes to show they don’t care. And why would they, given the licence fee?
“If they think by planting their own Left-wing entrant into Eurovision will see us re-enter the EU at some stage then they should think again. The days of ‘making our mind up’ are done.”
The Eurovision rules state that the contest is a “non-political event” and that no “organisation, institutions, political cause or other cause, company, brand, product or service” should be promoted, featured or directly mentioned during the event.
It is understood the BBC plans to take no action over the tweets because they were posted online before her engagement with the broadcaster over Eurovision.
