ITV Good Morning Britain's Ed Balls told 'don't put words in my mouth' during fiery weight loss debate

Ed Balls was furiously told 'don't put words in my mouth' as a Good Morning Britain debate turned fiery. The former Labour MP was back at the helm of the ITV news programme on Wednesday (February 15) where he was this time co-hosting with Charlotte Hawkins.

The pair were joined on the latest edition of the show by Dr Amir Khan and weight loss coach Steve Miller to discuss the latest news that thousands of obese people will be able to get a fat-busting drug on the NHS after a watchdog approved its use. The fat-loss injection is said to help suppress appetite, and can help people lose weight when used properly and safely.

After being approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice), Wegovy will be available on the NHS. The weight-related conditions that make obese people eligible include high blood pressure, dyslipidaemia (unbalanced or unhealthy cholesterol levels), obstructive sleep apnoea and heart disease.
