BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker slammed Education Secretary Gavin Williamson for dodging questions on the programme today.
The pair were seen getting in a fiery exchange on the show during a live interview today.
Mr Williamson seemed keen to stress that the government wanted to make sure it was safe for children to go back to school amid the current coronavirus pandemic.
However, Dan, 43, interrupted him telling him he had “made his point” as he tried to ask Williamson other questions.
Despite Dan interjecting though, Williamson continued to talk over him and ignore his attempts to ask other questions.

Getting heated Dan said: “Mr Williamson, I’m going to ask you not to keep talking about world class education, you’ve mentioned that now.
“I’m going to ask you some questions and hopefully we’ll get some answers, okay?”
Williamson replied: “You wouldn’t expect me not to be enthusiastic about delivering education and wanting to welcome children back.”
Dan told him: “I understand that, but it feels like you’re talking down the time so I don’t get to ask you the questions.”

Viewers were left open-mouthed by the exchange as they went online.
One wrote: “Gavin Williamson rambling away and trying desperately not to take the next question. Dan Walker try’s to stop him but the man won’t shut up, in the end he accuses him of wasting time.”
Another added: “Morning gold! Dan Walker asking Gavin Williamson about why he refuses to answer questions on whether he takes responsibility for his mistakes, classic!”
A third chimed in: Dan Walker, brilliant interview with Education Secretary Gavin Williamson.”
