Good Morning Britain became embroiled in an furious clash early today as Adil Ray challenged a guest on the refugee crisis and Rwanda flights - prompting them to refuse to speak and strop "everyone is against me".
Hosts Adil and Kate Garraway were joined by journalists Quentin Letts and Ayesha Hazarika to discuss the refugee crisis and the Rwanda flights, which have been dubbed "immoral" by Church of England bishops.
But it all got very heated as Adil continued to probe Quentin on why Ukrainian refugees had a legal route into the UK without crossing the Channel - but Afghans and Syrians did not.
After a few awkward moments of the pair talking over one another, Quentin crossed his arms and said that there was no point in him talking any longer.
Adil began by pointing out: "Quentin, on the Rwanda thing - and it's a question I want to ask Dominic Raab when he's on later - why are we all being asking to budge up and empty our spare rooms and being paid to invite Ukrainian refugees here, of which we've allowed 100,000 to apply.
"Yet for Afghanistans and Syrians, the vast majority can't apply like Ukrainians and we're threatening - when they do get here - to send them to Rwanda? Why is it different?"
Quentin replied: "Because Ukrainians, so far as I know, aren't washing up dead on the beaches of Dover and -"
"But that's my point," Adil said. "They're not because they're allowed to apply online. So if they did have an online visa system... actually some of them are at Calais but most of them, because they've got an online visa system.
"The Afghans do not have an online visa system. It's different."
Quentin replied: "Well, I don't know if we're online or not but there are -"
"I'm telling you it's not the case," Adil said. "So why is there a difference?"
Visibly frustrated, Quentin fumed: "You've asked me on this programme and you never actually let me answer a question!
"There are procedures, perfectly legal procedures for people to come in. But what people using the boats are doing are using money to scoot around the rules -"
Adil replied: "Because there's not legal routes and they're -"
Quentin insisted: "There are legal routes."
The GMB host retorted: "There aren't actually!"
Quentin began to reply: "There are, they're paying money to -"
Adil said: "We allow 20,000, of which there are thousands still -"
Throwing his hands in the air, Quentin declared: "I give up. I give up mate!"
Adil exclaimed: "But it's my job to correct you, Quentin!"
"It's not actually! You ask me a question and you don't actually let me answer," Quentin fumed.
The presenter continued: "But you're missing the point. You accept first that there are the legal routes and an online system like there is for Ukrainians -"
Quentin said: "The people on the boats are paying money to people smugglers to get round the rules -"
"Because there are no legal routes," Adil said.
Quentin shook his head as A continued: "You can't avoid that point..."
"There's no point talking to you!" Quentin said in an outburst. "Because there's four of you against me! It's absolutely pointless!"
"No one's against you - we're having a debate, a discussion!" Adil insisted.
Ayesha pointed out: "We're looking at the facts!"
Quentin appeared to remain in a sulk and after the break, Adil attempted to diffuse the tension as he asked: "Quentin, are you still with us?"
"Just about," he mumbled in reply.
And viewers were left rolling their eyes at the moment, with one tweeting: "Poor Quentin can't cope when challenged with actual facts #gmb."
While another commented: "How is it that the people who are the first ones to call others ‘woke’ and ‘snowflakes’ are the first to cry and throw a tantrum when their ignorant, nasty views are challenged."
A third quipped: "He’s such a sulker."
It comes after Boris Johnson's ethics chief Lord Geidt resigned after being blocked from investigating the PM.
It's not been a good week for the government after their controversial flight to Rwanda carrying desperate asylum seekers was cancelled at the eleventh hour after Boris Johnson's government faced multiple legal challenges.
The High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court had all ruled the plane - costing between £200,000 and £500,000 - could take off last night.
