Good Morning Britain faced a spot of chaos as the hosts were forced to end the show in the middle of a fiery debate.
Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway were back at the helm of the hit ITV show on Friday (June 16).
And one of the hot topics they were discussing today was Boris Johnson and whether he should be stripped of the £115,000 a year expense allowance given to former prime ministers.

The two hosts were joined by Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu and former conservative MP David Campbell Bannerman.
And it’s fair to say the debate kicked off – with the former MP throwing his support behind the disgraced ex-prime minister.
Both Kate and Ben tried to chime in – but both guests were not having it and spoke over each other.
And their debate seemed to go on longer than show bosses had hoped, as Kate and Ben were forced to end the show to make way for Lorraine.
“I think,” Ben said, before getting drowned out by the guest’s voices.
“They’re not going to stop,” he added.
Shrugging her shoulders, Kate didn’t know where to look as the guests continued to row – appearing none the wiser that the show was ending.
Ben then waved to the camera and said: “Have a lovely weekend, bye bye.”
The show then cut to the Lorraine studio – with fellow ITV star Ranvir Singh waving to viewers as she gave a rundown of what was to come.
Viewers watching GMB at home were not too impressed with the debate, with one person writing on Twitter: "Clearly Ben and Kate not wanting involved there… that is not professional broadcasting/ debating…."
Another fumed: What a shambolic interview. I am not a Boris fan but this interview was a one woman rant. Very poor!"
"Threw this rubbish you lost a viewer and no longer being followed," claimed a third viewer.
Under rules, ex prime ministers can claim the Public Duty Costs Allowance of up to £115,000 a year, for life.
This is for the “necessary office costs and secretarial costs arising from their special position in public life".
