This Morning viewers fume at Nick Ferrari’s ‘patronising’ PMQs explanation

This Morning viewers were left seething after radio host Nick Ferrari explained what PMQs were.

Fans asked if the journalist and broadcaster thought viewers were "stupid" after he offered an explanation for the well-known term while he was talking with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, who were hosting the ITV show on Tuesday.

Nick, 63, was discussing Prime Minister Liz Truss and mentioned PMQs.

But instead of continuing he paused and said: "It's what called Prime Minister's Questions, it's every Wednesday."

People were seriously miffed that the star felt that he had to say it.

Several posted messages on social media saying that the public knew and understood what PMQs were and that the star didn't have to spell it out.

"Nick explaining what PMQ’s is to us… we aren’t stupid," one person posted on Twitter.

Someone else tweeted: "Can someone tell Nick Ferrari that we don’t need him to explain everything to us? We’re not stupid."

"We f****** well know what PMQs is you arrogant d*******," said another viewer.

One snapped: "We don’t need you to treat us like we’re 5, Nick."

They went on: "We know that they’ve removed the cap on the energy cap, we know our mortgages are going up. We know our wages are stagnating. We’re not b***** stupid."

Another annoyed viewer claimed the discussion was "condescending".

Alison and Dermot were hosting the ITV programme in place of usual Tuesday presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
