Patsy began to answer, before saying: “You know what, I don’t even want to do this interview.
“I don’t even want to look what it says at the bottom of that screen.
“So I am just going to switch off, do a real Piers Morgan, and say it’s not okay to have ‘addict to wellness guru’ on the bottom of the screen.”
She added: “My issues that I had years ago, that were talked about many years ago, and it’s over.
“I am not going to talk to you, don’t worry about it but I don’t want to talk to you.”
Both Susanna and Ben Shephard apologised to Patsy as the Tipping Point star said: “It wasn’t our intention, Patsy, certainly wasn’t our intention to hurt Patsy.”
