GB News presenters Tom Harwood and Nana Akua clashed during their programme earlier this week, with the latter branding her male co-star “patronising”. During the segment, which aired on Tuesday, Tom was trying to explain issues with user-generated online content.
The pair started talking over each other before Tom said: “You do understand what that would mean?” Nana replied: “Well, yes, I do, Tom. I am not stupid, OK? Don’t patronise me!” Tom retorted: “I am not patronising you,” to which she snapped back, “I think you are just a little bit.”
He clapped back: “I just think you are wrong on this topic,” to which Nana noted: “Well, you can be wrong. We have two different opinions on this topic – but don’t patronise me because I am not going to tolerate that.”
Wanting to get the final word in, Ben sniped: “Well, I don’t think anyone did that.” But Nana wasn’t going to let him have the last say, sniping: “Well, you did…”
The duo then had to remain professional and smile for the cameras as they told viewers what was coming up next on the programme.
The awkward interaction didn’t go unnoticed by GB News fans, who were quick to comment on the row on X, formerly known as Twitter.
One person wrote: “When mansplaining goes wrong.” Another penned: “Not the first time Tom has behaved this way!”
A third added: “And this is why I love Nana.” Someone else shared: Nana takes s**t from no one. Tom is better when he’s paired with Emily, she treats him like an annoying younger brother.”
A fifth said: “Her face. She was absolutely fuming…” A sixth wrote: “@GBNEWS Tom and Nana having a spat on live TV – great stuff guys, the passion is real.”
