Alison Hammond lashed out at Boris Johnson on This Morning today, branding him "out of order" over the Partygate scandal.
It comes after the Mirror was told on Thursday that the Prime Minister was informed by the Met Police that he would be subjected to a limited probe as part of the four-month inquiry.
Mr Johnson on Thursday escaped more Partygate fines after the Metropolitan Police announced it had finally finished its investigation into the lockdown gatherings.
Joined by Kate Quilton and Giles Brandreth, Alison and co-host Dermot O'Leary discussed the news on the ITV daytime show.
Kate pointed out that, according to a survey conducted by Ipsos Mori, most of the public want Mr Johnson to resign.
"He will ride the wave," former Conservative MP Giles said. "I've sat here over the months watching people, sometimes foaming at the mouth - these people that don't like Boris really don't like him. They feel that the whole thing was an absolute scandal.
"They keep saying quite rightly that - there they were - unable to visit dying relatives in hospital and there they were partying in Downing Street - 'It's outrageous, he made the rules, he broke the rules, he should go!'
"But actually, what has now happened is that he's paid a fine - a fixed penalty notice - and the police have concluded their investigation. There will be this report from a senior civil servant where she will castigate certain people. She hasn't yet named, or been able to name.... we will then move on."
Alison didn't appear too impressed as she said passionately: "The thing is, it's not just about the fines, is it? It's the fact that he was partying while we weren't allowed to party, we weren't able to see our family and friends and he's there, in our face, doing it in front of everybody.
"It's out of order!"
"Absolutely," Kate agreed. "And it's not just partying. We all know people who had to say goodbye to loved ones over zoom. It's time for him to go because we're in this cycle now when anything happens, it's going to keep coming up."
*This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
