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".
Speaking about the game, broadcaster Amy Nickell-Turner said: "Do you remember at village fairs or school fairs where you put your teacher in the stocks and throw sponges at them?

"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.

GETTY"He is surely aware that although four million people voted for him, many more object to his views on LGBT rights, women’s rights and migrants”.
"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."
