A heated clash transpired between Ed Balls and weight loss coach Steve Miller during Wednesday's Good Morning Britain as they discussed whether a weight loss jab would be beneficial for people to lose weight. The Good Morning Britain guest completely disagreed with the weight loss jab and as he shared his views, he got into a disagreement with host Ed Balls.
Steve branded the idea of a weight loss jab as "nonsense" and said people who need to lose weight need "a shot of love". However, things took a turn when the ITV host suggested those who can't lose weight may benefit from the jab, The Express reports
Ed began: "Just on your point about emotional issues, of course, there are people who have these challenges and need support from people like you. But there are also people who, for physiological reasons because of their body, find that they can't lose weight.
"And if this can help them do that, is it a bad thing?" "Have you just said that some people can't lose weight?" Steve replied.

"Is that what you're saying? Are you suggesting to the nation this morning that people have physiological issues so they can't lose weight?" "Yes," Ed explained before Steve fumed: "It's nonsense, of course, people can lose weight."
Ed chipped in: "There are some people who are bigger for a reason." "No, no, no," the weight loss coach disagreed. "I will not allow it..."
"So it's their fault always?" the host interrupted as Steve fired back: "No, I've not said that. Don't put words in my mouth like a politician..."
"I am asking you a question, why don't you answer it?" Ed quizzed as Steve said: "I am answering it.
"What people need this morning is a shot of self-love. A shot of being told they're too gorgeous to be fat, not to be told to go to the chemist and start sticking a needle inside of their stomach where a potential side event could be possible fibroid tumours."
