On Saturday's Weekend Update, Paddy Young and Ania Magliano mocked Trump, Melania Trump, King Charles and Queen Camilla, while Amy Lou Wood hosted the show.

The show also targeted Nigel Farage over an undeclared £5 million donation, women's healthcare, young adults living at home, a West Ham fan's train-cooked steak and Celebrity Traitors.
