Kate Garraway was left stunned as former Conservative MP, Lord Kenneth Baker, vented his frustrations after being unable to speak during a debate.
Lord Baker, 85, joined anchors Kate Garraway and Alex Beresford on Good Morning Britain as students across the country gear up to collect their GCSE results.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic seeing the world go into lockdown and schools close, the results students receive will be based on an algorithm.

However, he was less-than-impressed when a passionate Kate, 53, continued to speak over him.
Kate, who recently returned to her position on the show, was questioning the former Tory party chairman how Education Secretary Gavin Williamson had handled the fiasco.

While being grilled by Kate, Lord Baker was unable to continue biting his tongue, saying: “I am just going to answer that.”
However, Garraway continued to press him, to which Lord Baker hit out, exclaiming: “Let me answer!”
Following the tense fiasco, viewers instantly took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the matter.

One viewer tweeted: “@GMB I thought Piers Morgan was the king of interrupting interviewees who try to answer questions. The crown has passed to Kate Garraway! She rudely interrupted Lord Baker when he was trying to answer her question. He kept trying to finish his answer but she wouldn’t stop.”
A second went on to say: “Love Kate, but why the shouting all today? Then screeching across Lord Baker and over his voice persistently when he’s trying to politely answer her question? Can’t believe what I’m seeing.”
“Kate stop shouting over guests it’s so irritating. Ken Baker is old school and won’t back down…Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat #gmb,” penned a third.
Lord Baker later revealed that students should face ability and aptitude tests from the age of 14, in order to give them the choice to decide whether they preferred high education or a more practical education.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
