A widely-circulated video on social networks has shown talk show host Tamer Amin enduring a shower of cursing by an opponent to the Egyptian government during a London trip.
Amin, known as the majority of Egyptian private media hosts for his support for President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, is seen sitting on the stairs of a store, with an unidentified girl next to him.
A man with an Egyptian accent stands in front of him uttering a barrage of nasty swearing at the TV presenter who would not respond.
"Look at yourself now! You are sitting down like a dog, so then why do you have such a big mouth on TV?” the man asked Amin.
In an episode of his show on Rotana Masriya last May, Amin said he was “satisfied with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s first year in office by 90 percent”.
Pro-government celebrities have encountered similar instances during their foreign trips to countries that offer refuge to dissidents facing Sisi's crackdown on political opposition.
A delegation of actors accompanying Sisi during his visit to Germany in June were also followed by swearing opponents once they arrived at the airport as shown in similar amateur videos.
