Presenter Carol Vorderman hit back at Shaun Bailey after the Conservative politician responded to his comments about her on GB News last week.
"On the one hand, she's a serious political commentator, and then if you look at her Instagram, it's just pictures of her butt and tits. What is this? She can't be both," he said at the time.
He later told the BBC it was an "awkward form of words."

Vorderman told the BBC: "It's not an apology."
Shortly after Lord Bailey's comments were broadcast on GB News, the hashtag #SexistShaun began trending.
In a statement on Thursday, Lord Bailey told the BBC: "During a recent panel discussion, I used a clumsy form of words to describe Carol Vorderman's Instagram posts.
"What I was trying to say is that Carol lives in a world of glitz and celebrity, as her Instagram describes, but simultaneously demonizes and intimidates those who have different political opinions. I strongly support free speech.
"I do not support bullying." p>
