Mr Flynn, the SNP's Westminster leader, said Labour was "watering down" workers' rights and described Mr Sarwar as "less change, more chancer".

"He's a chancer, a grifter," says Mr Danczuk, who highlights the former Respect MP's record of standing for election - in some cases with great success - in areas with large Muslim populations.

"Being called a chancer by Simon Danczuk - it's a bit like being told to stand up straight by the Hunchback of Notre Dame," he says.

He worked regularly in British television after that, including recurring roles on “Chancer,” “The House of Windsor” and other series in the 1990s.

Television work included dramas such as Chancer and Summer's Lease.
