Lizzie Cundy was blasted live on air as she ended up in a hot debate with author Jemma Forte.
She accused Jemma of wanting to go back to "the 1970s" as national rail strikes affected commuters getting to work
Lizzie, 54, was furious with striking workers asking for a pay rise and an end to job losses as inflation soars to a 40-year high.
The socialite and TV personality spoke about a dad who rang into her show worried about getting his son to cancer treatment and condemned the strike action on Jeremy Vine on 5.
She said: "I am actually quite appalled because I think they should actually have a wider perspective of what is happening in the world today. Everyone is feeling the pinch."
Jemma responded: "12 years of Tory government and this is where we are at. If trade unions didn't exist, we wouldn't have two-day weekends, eight-hour working days, paid maternity leave, workplace pension, and the right not to be sacked because you've had a baby.
"Sometimes you need agitation."
A former WAG, Lizzie is also known for some brash showbiz parties, her strong opinions and socialite lifestyle.

When revealing her book on This Morning in 2019, Lizzie even spoke about a fun night spent with Hollywood superstar and Top Gun maverick Tom Cruise.

Who was Lizzie Cundy married to?
Lizzie Cundy was married to former footballer Jason Cundy, who turned out for Chelsea between 1988 and 1992.
Jason went on to pay for rivals Spurs, as well as Crystal Palace, Bristol City and Ipswich on loan spells, before making the switch to Ipswich Town in 1996.
He finished his career at Portsmouth in 2000, forced to retire through injury.
Lizzie and Jason, who share two sons, were married for 16 years before a split in 2010 when Jason met opera singer Hannah Pedley.
She told OK! magazine at the time of her split with Jason: "I've never been on my own and it's very frightening. I feel so betrayed. I've had panic attacks and I feel like my right arm has been cut off.
"I'm so shocked at how hideous he is being. I don't know him any more and I've been married to him for so long. That's the thing that hurts the most."
She was briefly linked to Hollywood man and planet-saver Gerard Butler in 2014, according to The Sun.
The columnist said she "wouldn't wish divorce on anyone" after her difficult experience with her split from Jason.
She said on This Morning: "I did fall for someone very quickly after my divorce and it didn't work out and it really did knock my confidence, a really well-known sports star."
"Sadly he didn't feel the same way it really was really traumatic for me."
