Sophy Ridge can’t hold in laughter over James Cleverly row<\/h3>\n

Sky News presenter Sophy Ridge broke into laughter as a colleague detailed the latest in the row over remarks James Cleverly is claimed to have made in Parliament.<\/p>\n

The Home Secretary has been under pressure to apologise amid claims he called fellow MP Alex Cunningham’s Stockton North constituency a “s***hole”.<\/p>\n

A source close to Mr Cleverly said his off-the-cuff remark in the Commons had been directed towards the MP, rather than his constituency.<\/p>\n

Sky’s Chief Political Correspondent Jon Craig reduced Ridge to a fit of giggles when he recounted the saga live on air.<\/p>\n

Ridge managed to contain herself up to the point when Craig quoted the source as saying Mr Cleverly had called Mr Cunningham, in Craig’s words, “a something or other”.<\/p>\n

Ridge then cracked, apologising straight away but was unable to stop herself as Craig went on to say how Mr Cleverly apologised for\u00a0“unparliamentary language”.<\/p>\n

Craig then tells the presenter to stop giggling, but it is clear he too was finding it difficult to stop himself from laughing.<\/p>\n

Mr Cleverly had come under pressure to apologise over the alleged Stockton insult, including from Tees Valley’s mayor Lord Ben Houchen.<\/p>\n

Labour MP Mr Cunningham had alleged the comment was made about his constituency during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday (November 22).<\/p>\n
