host Victoria Derbyshire admitted she once "came to blows" in a furious row with a friend over a common mistake. The 56-year-old broadcaster is known for hosting current affair programmes on the both on the silver screen and on the airwaves with BBC Radio 5 live show.

Throughout her career, the broadcaster regularly skewers politicians in gruelling political debates affecting Brits across the country. And it appears as though the TV star has always been opinionated on divisive debates. During an appearance on Would I Lie To You last year, the veteran newsreader was quizzed about one mortifying high school clash.

The 56-year-old broadcaster revealed on the panel show: "I once came to blows with someone over the correct way to pronounce the word scone. Jane at school asked us all how we pronounce the word scone, so I was 14".

It was at this point that Victoria revealed she became so irate that she "pushed Helen Webster against the lockers". She admitted: "Jane had said, 'How do you pronounce scone [pronounced sk-on]?' and I said, 'Scone' [pronounced sk-oan]. And then Helen said, 'Oh, if you pronounce it like that, you're a snob'."

After debating with her opposing team, the presenter later revealed that it was in fact true as the studio erupted into laughter and applause. It comes after Donald Trump's deputy assistant Sebastain Gorka became embroiled in a war of words with the veteran presenter on Newsnight, branding her a "kindergartner".

The extraordinary exchange too place on Wednesday (April 2) when she enuired what the UK needed to do to get Trump's recentl announced trade tariffs cut. He shot back: "If you don't discriminate against US goods, then the other partner - in which case the UK - will not have their goods discriminated against.

"It's very, very simple. A kindergartner should be able to get that." He then quoted the Bible, citing the line: "Do unto others as you would wish to have done unto yourself" as an explanation for the US president's dramatic plan to reset international trade.

Trump sparked a trade war by unveiling a series of global tariffs as part of his Liberation Day speech. Gorka insisted the UK should eb grateful after they received one of the lowest tariff rates.

He fumed: "I find it strange that you've been afforded such an exceptional status and you're complaining? I'm not sure I understand that," as the debates on US-UK relationships blew up.
