Donald Trump personally phoned Roseanne Barr to congratulate the actress on her TV show revival.

The White House confirmed to the New York Times the call had taken place.

The return of Barr’s 1990s sitcom after 20 years away drew an audience of more than 18 million viewers on Tuesday (March 27).

The revival’s debut sees a family row erupt between Barr, who is a Trump supporter both on-screen and off-screen, and her sister who is a Hillary Clinton supporter.
