Fiona Phillips has hit out at Sir Michael Parkinson following his criticism of Jade Goody.
The veteran broadcaster recently made headlines by claiming that the late reality star "came to represent all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today".
Writing in her column for The Mirror, Phillips commented: "That's rich coming from someone who made a mint doing one programme a week for years.
"That represents all that's very fortunate, privileged and overpaid about Michael Parkinson."
The former GMTV host also suggested that Parkinson's remarks were "ill-timed" and "insensitive".
Goody passed away on March 22 following a battle with cervical cancer. Her funeral took place last weekend.
