Novelist and former politician Jeffrey Archer joined Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain to give his view on Boris Johnson’s flat revamp as a formal investigation looks into how he paid for the work. But ITV viewers saw a chaotic clash unfold as Good Morning Britain’s Ben tried to disagree with Jeffrey and was promptly shut down.
“This is the lead item on ITV when half a million people are dying in India,” Jeffrey argued.

Susanna commented: “That’s America though.”
