Edwina Currie sparked outrage on Good Morning Britain on Monday, with her comments about the rising cost of energy bills.
She advised people "not to get emotional" about bills and the ongoing rise in prices - before telling host Martin Lewis his choice of words to describe the crisis were "not helpful".
Viewers praised him though for "schooling" her, as she offered tips on how to use less heating over the winter, and was again against describing the situation as a "catastrophe".
