Susanna Reid is used to keeping her cool on Good Morning Britain, but she was left fuming when one of the show's guests suggested that footballers are on too high salaries.
Broadcaster Mike Parry had appeared on the show to discuss whether footballers were better role models than politicians.
Whilst Susanna felt footballers were more "relatable" to their fans, Mike disagreed and said they lived a luxury lifestyle too, just like politicians do.
She said: "Those footballers come from the background of their fans, much more than the Prime Minister or Chancellor.
"They're hugely wealthy, the PM a member of The Bullingdon Club when he was at Oxbridge. The footballers are much more in touch with the issues of people.
"You can talk about the massive salaries they're on now, but they're only on those salaries for a short period of time in their lives.
"Many of them are supporting extended families, you know. They're relatable - despite their weekly salaries, they're relatable."
"They're on those [£200,000] weekly salaries for about ten years. They earn enormous amounts of money," he fought back.
"Most footballers these days, when they finish playing, will be worth about £65million quid and they deserve every penny because they're special and they have a great talent. But they are in a bubble from about the age of 14."
However, Susanna wasn't happy with Mike's comments and slammed his idea that they're in a "gilded bubble".
"When you say they're in a bubble it's like they're in some sort of gilded bubble - they're not. Sorry but they are not," she told him.
"Most of those players who are in that Academy system will not go on to earn millions and they are under enormous pressure from very young ages to achieve. That is a complete misdescription to call them in some sort of protected bubble."
He said: "If you are spotted as a potential England footballer from the age of 14, believe me you'll have a lavish lifestyle. Managers of Premier League clubs said in the past there were 16 year old kids turning up in baby Bentleys driven by chauffeurs to get to training.
"That's the sort of world they live and I'm not decrying it, what I'm saying is there are a lot of issues in this country and obviously free school meals is a very emotional one."
