GOOD Morning Britain today viewers have slammed Richard Madeley’s interview with Sir Christopher Chope after the host grilled the Tory MP over Liz Truss.
Tensions flared when the presenter shut down the Tory MP and was accused of being “rude” by speaking over him.

Sir Christopher also accused him of having a “prejudice” against the Prime Minister after Richard pummelled the guest with questions over her decision to appoint Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor.
Richard then told the MP he didn’t need to defend himself on air.
Furious GMB took to Twitter to react with one writing: “Sir Christopher Chope, absolute car crash of an interview.”
Another said: “Why are you wasting air time on this MP? He’s an absolute joke!”

Another said of Richard: “So Madeley says he just ignores his critics! Such a pity. This programme might be watchable if he didn’t and left his anchor spot to someone not quite so cringeworthy! Anyway, the news review segment is over now so I’m off back to Sky News!.”
Others were unhappy Sir Christopher was invited on in the first place.
One moaned: “What an embarrassing interview, Chope completely out of touch. Please just go away!”
GMB faced criticism last week when Martin Lewis sparked a row with a pregnant woman over the cost of heating a jacket potato.
However, Martin replied: “Hold on, to poopoo every single idea, you are actually encouraging people to have a more miserable existence …
“Let me ask you a question Ella. What’s the price of cooking a potato in the microwave or the oven? What is it? Because, information? Which is cheaper?”
Ella admitted, “I don’t know” as Martin continued to ask her, and she revealed she was pregnant and worried about keeping her baby warm.
One viewer said: “Martin Lewis doesn’t like being disagreed with does he! Ranting about a jacket potato”
