Susanna Reid has revealed that Boris Johnson 'left immediately' after she interviewed him on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday.
The mother-of-three grilled the Prime Minister on various topics in a tense interview for the ITV breakfast show.
Speaking on LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr show on Tuesday evening, Reid, 51, divulged what happened once the cameras stopped rolling.
As Marr described Mr Johnson looking "ashen and ghastly" during his interview with Reid, he was keen to know what the atmosphere was like between them afterwards.
The Good Morning Britain host revealed: "Oh, actually the atmosphere afterwards was, 'Oh, Prime Minister you know, before you go, we better get a picture. Oh, yes. Okay, well, I'll you know, we'll do the picture’.
"And we did the picture in front of the mantelpiece under the portraits of Baroness Thatcher, and it was all absolutely fine. I mean, it was swift, he left quickly after that."
Reid also confirmed that she had spoken to OAP Elsie since interviewing the Prime Minister.
Elsie, 77, was a specific case study that Reid spoke about in the interview in regards to the cost of living crisis in the UK.
Reid pushed him on the shaming case of Elsie, who has seen her energy bill increase from £17 to £85 a month, has cut down to one meal a day and travels on buses all day to stay out of the house and reduce her bills.
Asked what Elsie should cut down on, Reid warned the pensioner was "losing weight", before the PM replied: “The 24-hour freedom bus pass was actually something that I actually introduced.”
"I've spoken to Elsie, since the interview this morning with the Prime Minister and she says how disappointed she is with what he said," Reid revealed.
"Because she says there are people who are even worse off than she is and there was no answer for them. Apart from ‘I was the person who was responsible for the bus pass’ I mean, as if she's supposed to be grateful?!"
"But I would say for any Prime Minister, any party leader who deals with a difficult case like that, the answer is not to just revert to, ‘We're going to invest for the long term. We're making sure people have got jobs. We've got this fund over there that can help’.
"The answer is to say, ‘That sounds dreadful for Elsie. I'd like to find out more about it. And you know, if she would let me, I would get in touch with Elsie as Prime Minister and find out exactly what that means. And let's see how we can help her’. That's the answer," Reid added.
