Alan Titchmarsh kicked racing pundit John McCririck off his chat show after he insulted Ingrid Tarrant by telling her she must be rubbish in bed.
The Celebrity Big Brother 3 contestant and the estranged wife of Chris Tarrant were both guests on Titchmarsh's ITV show.
McCririck told Tarrant that she was a "ghastly woman" for insulting her ex-husband's hygiene habits.
He commented: "You had a cheek to say that he smelt of vindaloo and fish and chips in bed, what's wrong with that? You're such a ghastly woman, you put a tracker on him."
Responding to his comments, the former Wish You Were Here? presenter replied: "He lied, how ghastly is that?"
The racing pundit's response of: "You can't be any good in bed, that's why he strayed away," prompted Titchmarsh to ask McCririck to leave.
Talking about the incident, the former Ground Force presenter reportedly said: "I was not prepared to listen to one guest on my show being gratuitously insulting to another."
