Susanna Reid immediately shut down Heidi Alexander as she called out Ed Balls for comments made about the winter fuel payments.
During Wednesday's instalment (December 4) of Good Morning Britain, Susanna and Ed Balls spoke to the Transport Secretary after it was announced that national rail will become the first train operator to be re-nationalised.
The conversation soon turned to the future of pensioners, with Ed saying: "Rachel Reeves removed the winter fuel allowance from all pensioners but there is still something which is available for all pensioners which is free bus travel for people aged over 60."
The 57-year-old then questioned whether the government plans to remove free bus passes from those over 60.
The Labour politician halted her answer as she felt the need to "pull Ed up" on his comment about the winter fuel payment cuts.
"You said that we removed winter fuel allowance for all pensioners and of course we didn't, those on pension credit can still get it," Alexander said.

The debate ended there as Susanna, 53, hit back by saying "we've explained that multiple times" since the announcement was made in August.
Labour has sparked fierce backlash since taking over from the Conservatives in July's general election.
The fury began when the government announced the universal payment to pensioners, worth between £100 and £300 a year, would be restricted to just those who receive pension credit.
In October, members of the Labour Party infuriated the UK public once again after it emerged they had accepted luxurious gifts from donors.

Farmers argued that the changes will destroy family farms, however, the government insisted it will make no difference to food security and have claimed only the wealthiest of landowners will be hit.
The decision sparked fury amongst rural communities, with Tom Bradshaw, president of the National Farmers' Union (NFU), branding it a "betrayal".
The NFU organised an event last month which saw 1,800 of its members meet with local MPs at Westminster to voice their anger. Thousands also staged a demonstration in Whitehall on November 19.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ms Reeves previously said the cuts are necessary to fill an alleged £22 billion "black hole" in the budget left by the previous Conservative government.
