This Morning's Phillip and Holly embroiled in tense clash with Bev Turner over cost of living

Things got rather fraught on Thursday's This Morning as hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were embroiled in a spat with studio guest Beverley Turner as viewers hit out at her opinions online.

Former Formula 1 host Bev is a regular contributor on the ITV daytime show, but her opinions have been known to rub viewers up the wrong way,. as well as sparkling controversy in the studio. And she got on the wrong side of presenters Phillip and Holly during a discussion on cost of living, as the hosting duo fronted their final show of the week and families are plunged into financial difficulties due to the soaring cost of energy prices.

Bev joined fellow guest Tom Swarbrick for the debate, which kicked off with Holly saying: "It is desperate times and then you hear stories like this and it's one of saddest stories I've ever heard... Parents who are living in McDonalds with their kids because of soaring costs, they buy as little food as they can justify. People have even seen families brushing their teeth in these restaurants and this is the reality of the situation we face."
