Andy Serkis' Theresa May Gollum spoof: Watch Lord of the Rings actor troll PM and Brexit deal in sketch

Andy Serkis has created a Gollum-Theresa May cross to ridicule the Prime Minister's Brexit plans.

Serkis, 54, mocked Mrs May as he revived his character from the Lord Of the Rings films for a spoof sketch titled “LEAKED: Footage From Inside No 10 Downing Street!” which saw him breathing deeply as he hissed Gollum’s infamous “precious” line.

The Hollywood star can be seen in a Conservative-blue jacket, grey wig, pearls with painted red nails as he looks over a copy of the Withdrawal Agreement MPs will vote on this week.

“Precious ... our agreement, this is it. Our deal,” he hisses.

“We takes back control! Money, borders, laws ... blue passportses!”

Making reference to Gollum’s split personality he debates the pros and cons of Mrs May's proposed deal.

“It hurts the people, makes them poorer,” pleads one side.

The other shouts: “But I finds it and negotiates it. We wants it! We has to do it! This is the only deal. Juicy and sweet. We will have it.”

The parody finishes with Serkis breathing heavily over the documents, saying: “This is the deal. It's my own. My Brexit.”

The video, which ends by calling for a so-called People's Vote on Brexit, has been shared by stars including Gary Lineker and Stephen Fry.

Parliament was scheduled to vote on Mrs May's Brexit deal on Tuesday, but she called it off.

A confidence vote against her was triggered after at least 48 MPs sent letters of no confidence over the deal. On Wednesday morning she vowed to fight on as PM and said she would contest her leadership "with everything I've got". The vote is scheduled to take place this evening.

Serkis won a handful of awards for his portrayal of Gollum, originally known as Smeagol, in the Lord of the Rings franchise.
