GMB host Susanna Reid cut off an interview today as things became heated with Prince Andrew’s ex.
On Thursday’s show, Lady Victoria Hervey joined a discussion on whether the Duke of York can rehabilitate himself through charity work.
They were joined by lawyer Dr Charlotte Proudman as they discussed Andrew’s step back from the spotlight following his association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
But things became heated when Lady Victoria accused Susanna of ‘smirking’ and the presenter quickly shut down the debate to move on.

During the debate, Lady Victoria – who dated Andrew in 1999 – branded Virginia Giuffre a “con artist”.
Ms Giuffre had accused Andrew of sexually assaulting her when she was 17 after she was trafficked by Epstein.
Andrew has always denied the allegations against him.
Last year, they reached an out-of-court settlement in which he allegedly paid £12million.
Lady Victoria defended Andrew as she claimed he’s “going to fight her”.
It comes after reports last month alleged Andrew had saved up a £10m fund to launch a legal case against her.
Susanna said on today’s show: “I’m not going to argue with you that Virginia Giuffre is a victim because she is without doubt a victim.”
Lady Victoria Hervey, that’s enough. I’m sorry.
Lady Victoria hit back: “She’s not, she’s the liar.”
Charlotte then said: “Be careful with that because even Prince Andrew accepted that she is a victim of sex trafficking.”
Lady Victoria then called her a “con artist”.
She then added on Good Morning Britain: “And Susanna, you might smirk, you might laugh…”
Susanna cut in: “I’m not smirking…”
Lady Victoria went on: “Can we do a bet right now?” to which Susanna replied: “No, I’m not betting. No I’m not making a bet with you. I think that’s outrageous.”
As Lady Victoria and Charlotte began talking over each other, Susanna stepped in to end the debate.

She said: “Lady Victoria Hervey, that’s enough. I’m sorry. I have to bring that to an end.”
This isn’t the first time Lady Victoria has appeared on TV in recent weeks.
Last month, she appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored and dropped the f-bomb resulting in host Piers apologising.

Piers told her: “Victoria, you can’t use language like that. I’m sorry for the bad language that was used. There’s no need for that.”
