Tony Blair is to make an appearance on The Simpsons.

The Prime Minister has provided his voice for the episode, entitled "The Regina Monologues" in which America's favourite cartoon family visit England.

The episode, from the 15th series of the hit show, sees the family coming to London for a holiday and being met by Mr Blair at Heathrow airport who invites them back to No 10 for tea.

After gaining tips on where to visit in London from the Prime Minister, Homer causes chaos by tipping tea from his Union Jack tea cup over the carpet.

Homer also ends up in trouble with the Royal family after he crashes a Mini Cooper into the back of the Queen's horse-drawn carriage and is locked up in the Tower.

The episode, which also features the voices of Harry Potter author JK Rowling and Sir Ian McKellen, is being aired on Fox in America tonight and is due to be shown in Britain in January.
