Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid subjected Business Minister Paul Scully to an epic grilling over the Prime Minister's self-isolation U-Turn on Good Morning Britain today.
The TV presenters were keen to find out what the MP thought of Mr Johnson's initial decision not to self-isolate, despite having been in contact with someone who tested positive for Covid.
And Shepherd ended the interview with a serious dig at Mr Scully, after the minister claimed he had been at a wedding on Sunday morning when news of the row broke.

The PM and Chancellor Rishi Sunak were pinged by the NHS test and trace app following a meeting with Health Secretary Sajid Javid, who has tested positive for coronavirus.
Initially the pair said they would not be self-isolating because they were taking part in a 'daily testing pilot'.
But the PM U-turned two hours and 38 minutes later after accusations that the top ministers were taking a 'one rule for them' approach.
During this morning's interview with Mr Scully, Susanna asked: "Do you acknowledge that the Prime Minister and the Chancellor's decision over the weekend not to isolate, initially, did damage people’s compliance with isolation?"
Mr Scully replied: "Well it's important that we get clear messaging and it's so difficult to do this in this age of 24 hour news cycles..."
Ben then butted in: "Yeah they got it wrong didn’t they?” but the MP ignored his comment and continued talking.
"The Prime Minister has taken the right decision to self-isolate," he said.
"I just came out of self-isolation last Friday because someone in my household had a positive test, so I know how frustrating it is for people who are looking at this and trying to work out what's best for them."
Then Ben asked: "What did you think Mr Scully when you saw that announcement on Sunday?"
Appearing defensive, Mr Scully replied: "Frankly I wasn’t watching the rolling news at the time, I was out enjoying my freedoms."
But Ben was having none of it and fired back: "You’re a business minister and you weren’t across what the prime minister…"
"No, on a Sunday morning Ben when I was out in the Isle of Wight actually at someone's wedding..." he said stuttering.
As the interview came to a close, Ben made a sarcastic dig at Mr Scully as he turned to Susanna and said: "I’d like to go to a wedding that starts at 8am on a Sunday morning. That sounds like a great wedding, can we sort that out?"
Laughing at his comment, Susanna made her own dig and said: "I thought the Andrew Marr show was compulsory viewing for all political ministers."
