Clodagh McKenna has broken her silence with a defiant response after viewers were left outraged by Jimmy Carr's antics during her cooking segment on Friday's This Morning.
The TV chef, 48, fought to keep her composure when comic Jimmy, 51, repeatedly interrupted and mocked her after being invited to join in the demonstration by hosts Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond.
Hours after the furore, which sparked a slew of fans reaching out to the expert, Clodagh returned to social media. The star posted a selfie of her leaning on Alison's shoulder with her eyes shut while Dermot beamed in the background. "I bet you need a rest. I hope you have one," one follower replied in the comments.
"Currently with a cocktail in hand in our pub," replied Clodagh.

At one point Clodagh gushed about the flavour of a chicken broth she'd just made, to which Jimmy sarcastically butted in "Wait till she hears about stock cubes." He later criticised Clodagh and said her dish 'lacked chicken.'
(ITV)Irish star Clodagh put on a defiant smile despite the slew of interruptions. Sensing the tense atmosphere, Dermot tried to lighten the mood as he put a comforting arm round her and said: "It's hard work being heckled by one of the UK's top comedians."
However, despite Dermot's efforts viewers at home were left hugely unimpressed by Carr.
"Urgh. Jimmy Carr. Switching off as he is obnoxious and proved it by having no respect to Clodah's segment", one of them penned. Another agreed: "Jimmy Carr what an absolute a*** to Clodagh."
A third TV watcher chimed in: "I doubt Jimmy would appreciate it if Clodagh joined his segment and started loudly interrupting and undermining everything he said." Another angry viewer then echoed: "Jimmy Carr being an arse during this cooking segment on #ThisMorning STFU Jimmy. You’re not funny and just look well pathetic. It’s not always about you."
One fan empathised with Clodagh: "If I was Clodagh I would butt in on Jimmy Carrs segment and throw broccoli at him the rude g**!" While another concluded: "Clodagh sounds really pissed off at Jimmy Carr & who could blame her."
