Good Morning Britain's Dr Hilary Jones has warned people against washing their cars during the coronavirus lockdown.
The health expert was asked by presenter Piers Morgan if he was safe to wash his Aston Martin in the street.
He said: "Can I wash my Aston Martin in the street? The windows are all getting filthy and I have to drive myself to work.
"I imagine there's a lot of people out there who are driving, not Aston Martins, but vans, lorries.
"What is the rule? There are no car washes open. Are you allowed under government guidelines to wash your car?"
But Piers was left outraged when Dr Hilary urged him not to wash his car.
He replied: "Washing your car is unessential, apart from the windscreen for safety.
"Leave your car dirty for the timebeing."
Piers argued: "But if you're an essential worker, you have to use your car for travel."
The doctor continued: "You don’t need to have shiny bumpers to get to work. You just need a clean windscreen."
Piers added: "I'm actually asking on behalf of everyone that's driving. If there aren't car washes available in the normal way, are you allowed in your street to wash it."
Dr Hilary responded: "I don't think you need to get the hose out and the bucket and the soap. You really don't need to do that. Just clean the window, get a cloth and off you go."
Good Morning Britain continues weekdays on ITV at 6am.
