After introducing the expected segments of the programme, she added: “Thank you for joining us and on to our top story tonight, well there was plenty of speculation in the run-up to last night’s The Sun’s showdown debate, whether anyone would be the victim of a knockout blow.

She then quipped: “What no one predicted was it might well be the presenter.”
