Jim Davidson was among thousands of drivers caught in traffic chaos today as he accused climate change activists who shut roads and bridges of adding to pollution.
Members of the Extinction Rebellion started 'swarming roadblocks' to stop vehicles trying to cross the River Thames at Lambeth, Vauxhall and Tower bridges in London.
A group of protesters shut down the Elephant and Castle roundabout in South London and comedian Mr Davidson's Volvo was in the heart of the gridlock.
Jim Davidson was caught up in the traffic chaos at the Elephant and Castle roundabout in South London today and blasted the protesters as 'horrid people'
In a rant out of his window, the 64-year-old comedian called them 'a bunch of horrid people' and declared: 'There's more pollution because of them now'.
The star, who has a gig in Folkestone tonight, was approached by a protester but told him 'he didn't talk to lefties' - before joking: 'Climate change. Don't they like being warmer?'
He told the BBC: 'What a bunch of horrid people. There's more pollution going on because of them now. I've got no sympathy for them whatsoever.
'What good does it do? You've got working class people trying to get about. Everyone's got to go miles. Have a look at this.
This is the group causing chaos on the Elephant and Castle roundabout in South London today - including for Mr Davidson, who was on his way to Folkestone for a gig
'Where's (Jeremy) Corbyn? He should be here. He looks like an environmental disaster in a duffle coat'. After getting out of the queues, he later tweeted: 'London is f***ed'.
On Saturday hundreds of people descended on the capital for the Extinction Rebellion climate change protest.
Scotland Yard arrested 85 people who were predominantly detained for breaches of the Highways Act, following staged sit-ins on five bridges crossing the Thames.
Other arrests were made for offences under the Bail Act. A Scotland Yard spokesman told MailOnline that as of 2pm today there had been no arrests.
Tower Bridge was also targeted by a swarming roadblock of activists - but police have not arrested anyone over the problems they caused
One of the organisers, Ronan McNern, said several 'teams' of 20 or activists moving around London to stop traffic.
He told the Guardian: 'The lights go red, they go into and sit down in the road, wait seven minutes. If anybody needs to get past, we'll let them through.
'Come off after seven minutes, take a break, let the angry drivers at the front go, then the light goes red and you go on again.
'This is about causing economic disruption by slowing things down, bringing things to a gridlock. This is an experiment, really. I think that's the most important word.'
Organisers called the long queues in London they caused an 'experiment' and insisted anyone who 'needed to go' would be let through
Saturday's action saw bands and speakers address crowds on Lambeth, Westminster, Waterloo, Blackfriars and Southwark bridges as part of a 'rebellion day'.
Campaign group Extinction Rebellion warns that the planet is facing an 'ecological emergency' and wants government action to reduce carbon emissions.
One organiser on Saturday warned of starvation in the UK if there is no change to environmental policy.
Gail Bradbrook said: 'We could easily be facing starvation in the UK if the weather effect continues as it is. We need to be building resilience in our communities.'
Dr Bradbrook said: 'We've basically got three demands - one is that the Government have to tell the truth.
'People think that climate change is something happening to somebody else at some other time but it's coming home.
'We need to go to net zero carbon really quickly. And we're also asking for a people's assembly so people can decide how the change happens.
'We'll know when governments are doing different things, it could feel like a war, a beautiful war. It's going to be huge.'
The bridges event followed on from a series of protests carried out by activists in the past week.
On Monday, 22 people were arrested after protesters blocked traffic and glued themselves to entry gates at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Last Wednesday, more activists were detained following action near Downing Street and at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in Westminster.
Today's incident came days after Davidson sparked outrage after telling an audience: 'Women were only put on this planet to be f***ed by men'.
The 65-year-old former Generation Game host made the comment while talking about the #MeToo movement at a sold-out show in Redruth, Cornwall.
Witnesses told of a sharp intake of breath among the audience on Friday as Davidson made the comments and sympathised with disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein.
He also joked during the performance - part of his 27-date On The Road Again tour - that members of the LGBT+ community should still be called 'poofs'.
In addition, Davidson said he believed his portrayal by critics as a racist and sexist man was unfair - and argued that the point of jokes was to make fun of other people.
Davidson's show was steeped in controversy from the offset, after the 2014 Celebrity Big Brother winner nearly cancelled two days before the show.
He did not like reports that a number of people from Cornwall did not want him to return to the area - but changed his mind and the show eventually went ahead.
And there was further drama during the event when Davidson brought the first half to an abrupt halt after a drunken fight broke out in the auditorium.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
