Entertainment reporter Peter Ford was given his thoughts on the war of words between Sam Newman and radio personality Chrissie Swan.

Swan said Newman was the worst guest she’s ever interviewed, with Newman hitting back at the comments, labelling her a “coward” and “unprofessional”, comments which Ford admitted he was “pretty shocked” by.

“You poke the bear, and sometimes the bear is going to respond,” Ford said.
