The Labour leader has been busy campaigning for the last 50 days in the run up to Theresa May’s snap election, and hasn’t had time to watch his beloved soap.
To celebrate the end of the gruelling challenge, 68-year-old Corbyn has announced that he plans to binge-watch EastEnders.
Corbyn said: “I like being out there and meeting people. But it was good to be home for a bit.
“I’ve caught up on things, opened letters. No bills, no nasty surprises.
“The electric is on, the gas is on, broadband still works. I’m going to the allotment. Can’t wait.”
He added to the Mirror: “I’ve lost track of EastEnders. I’m going to have to do a big catch-up.
“I understand some bad things have been going on in Walford.
“Sometimes people aren’t very kind to each other on that programme. They could do with being a bit nicer.”
Corbyn’s constituency of Islington North seem to be friendly towards the politician, unlike Walford’s residents who turned on the local mayor during a recent visit after Denise Fox (played by Diane Parish) spoke out.
EastEnders continues tomorrow on BBC One at 8pm.
