Good Morning Britain viewers furious as Edwina Currie tells Ranvir Singh to 'shush' in heated debate

Good Morning Britain viewers have shared their fury after presenter Ranvir Singh was told to "shush" by former politician Edwina Currie live on air. They were discussing Partygate and whether the PM should resign after it was announced on April 12 that Boris Johnson and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak have been notified that the Metropolitan Police will be issuing them with fines after breaching lockdown regulations.

During the debate on the ITV show on Wednesday morning, Ranvir, 44, says to Edwina: "You say you don't mind if he's lied, it doesn't matter to you. You said that you don't care if he misled parliament". To which Edwina, 75, quickly cut in: "I didn't say that. No, no, no, Don't put words into my mouth. Ranvir shush. I did not say that. I said there are more important things to get on with. I said that you can't change the past, I said you can't rewind the tape."

Viewers were quick to take to Twitter to react to the moment with many saying the former MP was "rude". La Seine added: "@GMB did you just allow Edwina Curry to tell you to shush as she retracted saying she did not care? #gmb why are you still inviting this incompetent, rude and authoritarian right wing mouth piece for these clowns?"
