GB News presenter Nana Akua got into a heated row with guest Amy Nickell-Turner after she said that the Nigel Farage milkshake-throwing game "isn't inciting violence".
A Pride event in Chesterfield organised a game where attendees were able to win prizes for hitting different coloured circles on a cutout of the Reform UK leader.
Nigel Farage was memorably pelted with a milkshake during his campaign for Parliament.
Condemning the game, Farage said that while he is "all for mockery and a good laugh", he suggested that the game "goes too far".

Stand Up to Racism responded to the backlash and insisted that the game was merely "light-hearted" and "harmless fun".

"That's all this is. If you see it, it's just a little cardboard cutout and you can throw the milkshake at that.
"And you said about Trump, but it isn't inciting violence. It's throwing a milkshake."
Nana fumed back: "There's a context to this, somebody did throw a milkshake.
"Jo Brand, many years ago on BBC Radio Two, made a comment about how it should've been battery acid. I don't see how you could think that this was harmless."

She responded: "It was just a milkshake." Nana fired back: "Which is fortunate."
Nickell-Turner added: "They're not related because the woman who threw the milkshake just threw a milkshake.
"We don't need to conflate it with all these other things. I understand it could have been acid and it could have been worse. But you can say that about absolutely anything."
Speaking about the game, a spokesperson for the event said: "We like to think it’s the sort of game that Nigel himself would smile at.

"Nobody was harmed and many people had a good laugh and welcomed our presence.
"Some community police officers did stroll past but clearly thought it was harmless fun too.
"The spirit of Chesterfield Pride is a joyful day out in defence of a serious cause. That was the spirit of the game too."
