Piers quickly interrupted her, by saying: ‘No you weren’t, you hadn’t started the headlines.’ 

As they watched the clip back, Susanna added: ‘I’m literally speaking the headlines there! You’re like some sort of king or lord!’

She then said in a mocking tone: ‘”Halt! I am coming into the studio!” Like the Queen of Sheba.’

Piers then defended his late arrival by explaining that he had been busy comforting one of the show’s make-up artists, who had recently been in a car accident.

Susanna then hit back: ‘We’d just quite like you to be here at the beginning of the programme! If that’s alright?’

Her co-host asked if he’d missed anything by being late and she said he wasn’t ready for the headlines, which his reputed: ‘No, I never normally read that bit – you do.’

The pair kept on bickering with each other as Susanna asked the team to roll-back the tape to the beginning of the programme.

Piers claimed: ‘his is utterly confusing for viewers! None of whom share your blood lust to have me read the right cue at the right moment.’
