ITV This Morning: Phillip Schofield speechless after Anna Soubry takes swipe
THIS MORNING host Phillip Schofield was left speechless today as Conservative MP Anna Soubry joked presenters are “rude” to the camera crews when filming on location.
Anna Soubry: Police should 'do their job' to stop MP abuse
Phillip Schofield, 56, was joined by MP for Broxtowe Anna Soubry, 62, on This Morning to discuss the recent harassment she had experienced during a live TV interview.
Having explained what she went through, Soubry then told Phillip and his ITV co-host Holly Willoughby, 37, about her experience with a TV crew having been a broadcaster in the past.
The MP explained how if she must be feeling violated by the protestors, then she couldn’t imagine how the other presenters and camera crew would feel.
Soubry made a remark about presenters being “rude” to the crew as a joke, to which Phillip and Holly were quick to clarify they were not.
You would never be rude
Soubry asked the presenters: “I really feel for the broadcasters. It’s not just Kay [Burley], can you imagine what it’s like for the crews?” referring to her interview with Sky News journalist Kay 58, outside the grounds of Parliament.
The MP went on to add: “I know we are, I used to be a TV presenter, I know we’re randomly rude about the crew as a joke,” she chuckled, before adding: “They do a great job and we all know that.”
However, Philip was left gobsmacked by the comment and didn’t hold back in letting his shocked facial expressions show.
“Not us,” Holly said as Phillip couldn’t seem to get a word out.
Retracting her comments about the presenters, Soubry said: “You would never be rude about the crews, that was a real bad joke,” she admitted as the presenters chuckled away.
“These guys do a fantastic job,” Soubry reiterated before returning to her experience with protestors again.
Holly was the one who left stunned yesterday however, when she was the recipient of a surprise marriage proposal from one of the show's guests.
Arthur gifted the presenter with a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates, to which Holly was delighted.
However, she wasn’t prepared for the next surprise as the four-year-old asked Holly if she would marry him.
Stunned by the proposal, Holly replied: “Yes, I would love to!” and it seemed to give the youngster the confidence to cause some mischief.
