British Gas' owner Centrica's annual profits hit £3.3billion in 2022 - more than triple the £948million it made in 2021. Theh billions in profits as millions struggle with rocketing energy bills.

Ex-politician Ed - who worked as Labour's shadow chancellor - hit back, insisting he wasn't making a political point as he asked: "Will this put pressure on the Chancellor?"

Louise replied: "Labour to the core, Mr Balls. Labour to the core."

Ed, 55, argued with a sharp tone: "I asked you a question that you didn't answer. It wasn't party political. I didn't make a political point."

Louse explained: I'm here to talk about the numbers. I'm a finance lecturer at Kingston University, I'm not a political commentator.

"If we could stick to talking about the numbers, that would be great."

Ed then vigorously shook his head, whispering: "I don't understand that."

The interview continued with Ranvir continued the conversation.

Butt the end of the interview, Ed's co-host told Louise: "Louise we appreciate your time this morning, your gusto and your vigour. "

Ed blanked the guest while his co-host Ranvir Singh said her goodbyes.

One viewer fumed: "Shambles of an interview. Try listening to what she’s saying instead of repeating the same question that she’s told you she isn’t their to answer.

"Ed balls trying to be the new Piers Morgan."

Another laughed: "I love how Ed Balls completely snubbed her at the end of her slot. Brilliant."

Someone else added: "Fair play to Louise Cooper on #gmb held her ground whilst Ed Balls tried to trap her and blame her for Centrica profits.

"Awful interviewing. Ed Balls had a face like a slapped arse at the end!!! Brilliant TV."
