Kate and Adil kept asking him questions as she was trying to explain to them what happened and viewers were annoyed.

One person wrote: “Dear lord, just let Tim speak instead of butting in with Qs. Interesting story but infuriating watch.”

Another added: "All week GMB you have allowed your presenters to constantly interrupt guest, over talk them and not listen. It’s making GMB pointless to watch unless you like the sound of Kate’s voice like she does. Please let the guests speak some stories are really interesting."

A third said: “Let him finish f*** sake #GMB”, and a fourth: "Please just let this man tell his story without the constant interruptions #gmb.”

Tim explained: “Somehow I managed to land on a snow ridge that was no bigger than my board, I still rack my brains about it.”

Kate asked him to explain what a snow ridge was as he tried to continue.

“For the first few minutes, I started calling out for help and then I realised that no one had seen me go down.”

“The scary thing was I didn’t know long the ridge would last and there was a crack between that shelf and the wall, which was making me a bit nervous.

"It was like one of those horror movies, because it was a warm day and there was constant drips and snow falling.”

As he explained about his phone, Adil interrupted to talk about his phone but Tim went on “I had an intermittent 3G connection.

"I tried messaging a friend of mine but didn’t know if he was going to answer. The battery was quite low, I hadn’t fully charged. It was 3%.”
