Tony Blair has debuted on The Simpsons.

In an episode which was screened in America on Sunday, the prime minister welcomes the Simpson family as they arrive in Britain for a holiday.

"Why are you greeting low lifes like us?" asks Bart.

"Because I want to encourage Americans to come and see 21st century Britain," Blair replies.

"I can't believe we've just met Mr Bean," says Homer as the prime minister jetpacks off to greet more tourists.

The Sun, Mirror and Mail also had mock front-pages featured in the episode which will be broadcast in Britain in January.
