GOOD Morning Britain fans were stunned as Ben Shephard nearly lost his rag with guest Michelle Dewberry in a heated row.
TV host Michelle joined co-presenters Ben and Kate Garraway on the ITV show on Friday morning.
They were discussing the Ofcom investigation after journalist Dan Wootton was suspended from GB News after Laurence Fox launched a vile tirade against female journalist Ava Evans on his show.
Fox was also suspended and revealed on social media he expects to be sacked today for his outburst.
Grilled by Ben, Michelle said: "It was sexist, it was misogynistic, it was embarrassing – I knew the next day there would be this monumental backlash and rightly so.
"I don't think that is representative of the channel and very swift action has been taken."

Ben then asked if the Michelle if she had contacted GB bosses to get reassurance that Laurence would not be returning to the channel.
Michelle hit back and said: "I haven't contacted bosses and tried to influence the outcome of an investigation, I wouldn't do that under any circumstances.
"I don't need to seek their reassurances because I already know that this is not the sort of thing that the channel is about.
"I know, I have worked there since the day it first broadcast, I don't need to go to management to get reassurance."
