This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard were forced to issue an apology today (June 4) after former MP Sayeeda Warsi offended viewers.
During Wednesday’s show, Sayeeda was joined by Gyles Brandreth to discuss several stories alongside Ben and Cat.
On the topic of barbers offering therapy alongside a trim, Sayeeda managed to turn people at home off with her language pretty quickly…

This Morning guest’s language called out today
While talking about attending the barbers or hairdressers, Gyles admitted his wife enjoys sitting in the chair and talking about her life and issues. He, on the other hand, prefers to “bottle” his emotions.
Sayeeda agreed with Gyles, stating that she doesn’t go to the hairdressers “to have a chat”. Instead, she likes to get out her laptop and catch up on things.
However, she insisted that “particularly black men, coloured men, or Asian men” will visit hospitals or doctors and will “always undersell” because they’ve been “brought up not to share their feelings” and to act “tough”.
Sayeeda approved that if the barbershop is a place for them to talk and express their feelings, she didn’t see it as a bad thing.
That said, despite approving of using their barbers appointment as a therapy session, viewers immediately fumed at Sayeeda’s language.
