Lisa Snowdon found herself in a heated row with Ann Widdecombe over the menopause on Wednesday. The two ladies were guests on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine show, where discussion soon turned to the importance of opening more conversations about the menopause, which Lisa also speaks about in her book Just Getting Started.

The presenter, 51, who herself went though early menopause, argued that talk about the menopause was 'swept under the carpet for a very very long time' and that women have had' to suffer in silence', which was 'not acceptable'.

However, Ann, 75, hit back stating she grew up in a generation in which women had to fight for equality and that they simply had to 'cope' with the transition, suggesting that points such as Lisa's undermines what they went through.

The pair then butted heads over their opinions, with Lisa labelling the former MP's views as 'old fashioned' while Ann told that her personal health woes were neither the business of Lisa or anyone else.
