Jon Snow caught up in another sweary row after Channel 4 guest claimed presenter branded him ‘a complete bellend’
Newsreader was angry reference was made to the storm around his alleged chanting of 'f*** the Tories' at Glastonbury
JON SNOW was caught up in another sweary row after a Channel 4 guest claimed the lefty newsman branded him "a complete bellend".
It came as Tories demanded Channel 4 “luvvies” should be moved to Leeds or Bradford to give them some “grit”.
Veteran presenter Mr Snow was left fuming after being confronted live on air by a guest over claims of bias.
When guest Matt Kilcoyne said on air that “not everyone hates the Tories as much as you Jon”, a furious Mr Snow hit back that he was “unpleasant”.
And it's claimed Mr Snow had an after show off camera meltdown.
Mr Kilcoyne, a politico at the right-wing Adam Smith Institute think tank, later revealed “Jon was instantly riled.”
He told the blog: “As soon as we were off camera he turned and said to me: ‘Well thanks a bunch, you complete bellend, that was totally unprofessional’.”
He added: “The producer rushed over and grabbed my lapel mic off, telling me to ‘just leave.’”

Mr Kilcoyne was referencing the storm around Mr Snow’s alleged chanting of “f*** the Tories” at Glastonbury last weekend.
When the Channel 4 News host failed to deny joining in the chants, senior Conservatives said he should quit or be fired by the publicly-owned broadcaster.
Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said: “I think it’s time Channel 4 told Jon Snow where to go.”
The latest row came as another backbench MP Philip Davies pushed the Government to uphold their manifesto pledge to move the Channel 4 out of London.
He told the Commons a move to West Yorkshire would “give it a much better perspective on life instead of it being full of London Labour luvvies.”
Channel 4 have claimed that "substantial relocation would be highly damaging" for its 800 staff.
