Gwyneth Paltrow lampooned on new Spitting Image
Satrical programme which launched on Britbox this week, which also mocks Dominic Raab, Mark Zuckerberg and Bernie Sanders
Goop God!
Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness and lifestyle brand has provided plenty of fodder for the creators of Spitting Image if the trailer for the satirical puppet show, which launched on Britbox this week, is anything to go by.
The latex version of The Politician star has been given her trademark blonde locks and the widest of smiles in a sketch showing her smothering cream all over her hands.
Paltrow, 48, who acknowledges her Jewish roots through her late father, producer-director Bruce Paltrow, is not the only member of the tribe to be given the latex treatment.
Joining her are foreign secretary Dominic Raab, whose Jewish father came to Britain as a six-year-old child following the Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia in 1938, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and American politician Bernie Sanders.
They join a host of politicians, celebrities and royals lampooned in the show that include Adele, Barack Obama, Prince Charles, Kim Kardashian, Boris Johnson and Donald Trump.
Spitting Image is available now on Britbox

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
