A national TV news broadcaster kicked Monmouth MP David Davies off live television on Monday evening for ‘patronising’ a female guest.

Mr Davies, a staunch Brexiteer, went head-to-head with Labour MP Anna Turley, but the Brexit debate quickly descended into farce, leaving the Tory MP to leave the screen.

Sky News’ Kay Burley oversaw the heated discussion before asking Mr Davies to leave after berating him for checking his phone during the debate.

"You’re interrupting me!" Ms Turley said, after Mr Davies accused her of not knowing Brexit figures.

"So you didn’t look at the figures that came out of the Treasury?" he hit back. "You’re not giving me much of a chance here..."

The two carried on bickering before Mr Davies gave up, telling her: "You carry on, I’ll check my phone while you have a little chat."

A shocked Ms Turley added sarcastically: "This is an amazing way to debate."

Sky presenter Kay Burley was forced to intervene, telling Mr Davies: "Let’s not be patronising.That’s completely unacceptable, don’t speak to her in that fashion."

He protested that he wasn’t be patronising, he couldn’t get a word in, but was told he’d already had enough time to make his point.

The Brexiteeer then left the show, and Ms Turley carried on.

"OK, you two carry on, thanks very much," Mr Davies said as he left, buttoning up his jacket as he went.

"Thanks for joining us, we really appreciate it," Kay added.

The spat comes as MPs are still bitterly divided over what to do about Brexit.

The Prime Minister’s deal is set to come to MPs for a vote in January.Mr Davies told The Chronicle he was merely debating a subject which many across the country were also debating. “The interviewer, Kay Burley, seemed to lose control of the event and left the other MP to talk non-stop. I politely tried to reason with her but all I got was wagging finger in my face, so I moved away and took my phone," he said. “At this point, Ms Burley suddenly seemed to remember that she is paid to be in charge of these events and accused me of being “patronising”. She inferred that she wanted me to go which I was happy to do, then complained, then made a sarcastic comment about me “walking in front of the camera.” “I don’t feel I have done anything wrong and was happy to retweet the segment so that people can make their own minds up. I wasn’t really expecting a great fuss though. It was just a something and nothing argument on-air which probably reflects the many discussions taking place around the country on the issue of Brexit.”
