đł HUGE bust-up on
@GBNEWS last night!
Nana Akua and Andy Twelves erupted into an extraordinary, childish row live on air after Andy criticised her presenting skills.
It was pretty unedifying. Nana seemed genuinely taken aback and didnât handle it well, while Andy was being deliberately antagonistic and belittling. She should have just kicked him off the show.
Nana: âCan I just be very clear to you Andy, Iâm hosting the show.â
Andy immediately speaks over her: âI donât think the viewer wouldâve got that from your performance today with your pretty poor hosting skills. You lost control of your panel.â
Nana: âHave you finished?â
Andy: âNo.â
Nana: âWhat else have you got to say? Go on.â
Andy: âYouâre not an especially good host and you lost control of the panel. You started shouting at the panel. I think youâre just a poor host.â
She asks if heâs finished and he says they shouldnât be doing this on air because itâs unprofessional. She calls him extremely rude. It then goes back and forth like this for ages.
Nana: âHave you finished?â
Andy: âNana, why are you keeping this going? This is silly. Come on, youâre meant to be the chair here. Letâs end this.â
Thereâs then an awkward silence where they just stare at each other. Nana eventually says: âDonât disrespect me Andy because Iâm not gonna tolerate it, just to be very clear to you.â
That sets them off again, going at each other like kids in a playground.
Nana: âWhat youâre doing is extremely rude and I wonât tolerate it.â
Andy: âThis is unprofessional. Weâre going in circles here. This is unprofessional.â
Nana: âWe are but Iâm asking you to be respectful.â
Andy: âAlright. Please, letâs move on. Itâs not professional.â
Nana: âThank you very much Andy Twelves.â
You think itâs over⌠then Andy keeps sniping: âThis is unprofessional. Please.â
Nana: âHave you finished?â
Andy: âHave you finished? Come on Nana.â
Nana: âPathetic, childless and ridiculous!â
Andy: âChildless? You mean childish?â
Nana: âChildish, childish. Very clear.â
Andy: âVery good. Move on. Very good.â
Nana: âLetâs just move on.â
Absolutely pathetic. Sheâs right that Andy was being very childish, but she should have got a grip of it. When he carried on being disrespectful, she should have just booted him off the show.
She said multiple times she wouldnât tolerate it, yet she kept engaging. They went back and forth like schoolchildren.
Not a good look all round.
