Good Morning Britain host Ranvir Singh was 'shushed' by a guest on today's show.
Former conservative MP Edwina Currie joined Ranvir and her co-host Richard Madeley on the morning talk show. They discussed the outcome of Partygate which has seen Prime Minister Boris Johnson fined for attending a party whilst in lockdown.
The PM's wife Carrie Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak have also been hit with penalties after parties took place at Downing Street. Taking to Twitter on Tuesday afternoon, Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer said: "Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have broken the law and repeatedly lied to the British public. They must both resign. The Conservatives are totally unfit to govern. Britain deserves better."

However, Liverpool-born Edwina disagreed with the Labour leader. She said the nation should just move on from the scandal.
Ranvir asked: "You say you don't mind if he [Boris] has lied, it doesn't matter to you?" She replied: "I didn't say that." The presenter added: "No, you said that you don't care if he misled parliament."
Edwina, 75, batted back as she said: "Ranvir, shush! Listen, I did not say that. I said there are more important things to get on with. I said you can't change the past or rewire the tape. I wish they hadn't had any parties." Referring to the Prime Minister she said: "He's a human being and so are the people around him."
Ranvir stopped Edwina's rant as she said: "Can I ask you a question just to end this chat? How do you expect members of the public to follow any new laws that are ever brought in if we don't care that the Prime Minister was able to break the law and doesn't have to pay the consequences and resign?"
The women both started to speak over each other as Edwina looked clearly annoyed. She said: "Just let me answer your question! I understand the question and the answer is because the public understand what the rules were for. The public obeyed the rules and are very sensible and almost certainly saved lies.
"What I'm saying is it's done it's dusted. You can't go back when you do break the law and say oh I wish I could go back and behave better, because it's done. What really matters is that this country needs a strong government, which it's got."
Richard told her that based on an online poll, 43% of the nation actually agreed with Edwina and thought it was time to move on from Partygate.
