TV presenter Tracy Grimshaw takes Twitter swipe at Mike Willesee

Tracy Grimshaw has used Twitter to express her anger at comments made by Mike Willesee.

The Australian television personality, who is best known for the interviews that she conducts on Nine Network show A Current Affair, responded to Willesee's claims that he is returning to TV because there are not enough good news interviews around.

Grimshaw wrote on her Twitter page: "Dear Mike Willesee. Hearty welcome back. But "no interviews on commercial TV now"? There have been a few, actually!"

Veteran journalist and former Logie Award winner Willesee announced earlier this week that he is making his comeback to television on Seven Network show Sunday Night.

Of news magazine interviews, he said: "There's a big place for that because [current affairs programmes] have stopped doing it. The really good interview is not about necessarily asking the hard question, but about understanding who you are talking to and devising a strategy."

Grimshaw's 2009 TV interview with chef Gordon Ramsay attracted headlines when he reportedly referred to her as an "ugly old pig" and a "lesbian" at an event the day after.

She responded to the jibes by labelling him an "arrogant narcissist", and he later apologised.
