One of the stars of The Chase has revealed she was ordered to remove an offensive tweet by ITV bosses.
Anne Hegerty was told she might face disciplinary action if she didn't remove a tweet defending former I'm A Celebrity campmate Emily Atack.
The Governess, as she is known on the hit quiz show, called a Twitter troll "a sad c***" after he criticised Emily's appearance.
Anne stars as a Chaser on the ITV show and also presents quiz show Britain's Brightest Family.
Speaking about the incident on Lorraine, Anne said: "I have been known to get into trouble for that.
"I mean I tweeted a tweet last month, it got 25,000 likes before ITV ordered me to take it down and threatened me with suspension.
"But yeah okay fine, I took it down.
"Sometimes you don’t always know what’s appropriate or what people will find appropriate or not appropriate.
"One is not actually trying to upset the source of one’s bread and butter."
Anne, who has been praised for being so open about her autism, took exception to a tweet made by Steve Burrows.

He had retweeted a post by Emily Atack which stated she was thrilled to be playing Debbie Harry in a new season of Sky Arts show Urban Myths.
Steve's retweet was accompanied by the comment 'Sorry, you're just not pretty enough' to which Anne responded by saying: 'What a sad c*** you are, Steve."
