Kate Garraway and Paul Brand sparked backlash on Monday morning

Good Morning Britain viewers were left less than impressed with Kate Garraway and Paul Brand during Monday’s show.

The duo sparked backlash after challenging the Minister for the Environment, Emma Reynolds, about fuel supply concerns.

Kate, stepping in for ITV’s Susanna Reid while she’s on break, challenged the minister and was often seen interrupting and speaking over her, a move she also acknowledged.

At one point during the interview, Kate noted that Slovenia has become the first country in Europe to ration fuel.

She remarked, “Newsreaders now wearing jackets because they didn’t want to have the air conditioning on, it feels like it’s coming. What’s the government really, practically doing or can do?”

Emma remarked: “Some parts of the world are more exposed to the supply issues from the Middle East-” However, Kate could be heard shouting over her, adding: “But, why is Slovenia more exposed than we are?”

While the minister tried to continue speaking, the ITV host was heard cutting in once again mid-sentence.

Kate commented: “Sorry to keep interrupting you, but I just want to press you on this. It’s one thing to say they shouldn’t feel that, but none of us wants to feel that on our Easter holidays, but is it coming? Will they have to?”

At another point, Paul also apologised to the minister for interrupting her as she spoke about concerns about fuel demand.

It wasn’t long before people watching commented on their discussion, with some turning off due to how Kate and Paul spoke to the minister. One person said, “What a terrible interview. If I were a minister, I would refuse to come on the show.”

Someone else added: “She’d get to the point if you didn’t keep interrupting all the bl**dy time, so annoying.” Another viewer replied: “It was an appalling interview, wasn’t it? Made me turn off.”

One person shared: “Does Kate let anyone else speak? What’s the point in asking a question and not letting the person answer it?”

Another added: “Dreadful interview, appalling.” While someone else shared: “They are being rude to her.”
