As Susanna made an awkward chuckle, John asked him to repeat his comment before admitting the broadcaster was \u201cclearing out\u201d a certain amount of people which isn\u2019t a bad idea.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThey do believe in free speech, I never had-\u201d<\/p>\n
Interrupting again, Ed commented: \u201cGet the old blood out and the new blood in.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, it looked as though John was fed up with the presenter cutting his sentences off and decided to scold him.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s getting another question in. Would you like to tell me which one you want me to answer?\u201d<\/p>\n As Susanna Reid and Ed laughed at John\u2019s blunt response, the GMB presenter quickly tried to recover as he confessed it\u2019s what interviewers do.<\/p>\n Picking up on John\u2019s previous comment about GB News making him the best offer, Susanna questioned if he meant that in a financial sense.<\/p>\n John admitted: \u201cNo not financially! They came to me and said, \u2018Would you like to make 10 programmes, you can do anything that you like\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cNobody has ever said that to anyone because most television executives, like you both know, have no idea what they\u2019re doing. They want to control things.\u201d<\/p>\n Susanna quickly replied: \u201cI\u2019d never say that about my bosses!\u201d<\/p>\n As the interview drew to a close Ed tried to read from the autocue to tell viewers what was coming up, although John decided to get back at the host by talking over him like Ed had done in the interview.<\/p>\n
