She added: “What I’d say to people in terms of disruption, I don’t condone violence or protests that are designed to cause damage to people or to communities.
“Remember, this city, the people of this city in order to host COP are already suffering some inconvenience and disruption over the next couple of weeks try not to add that.
“But of course, protest is important, and I think we’ll see lots of peaceful democratic protests in Glasgow over the next two weeks.”
However, Susanna appeared to hit back at Nicola’s comment.
She said: “So you are giving the green light to the Extinction Rebellion protesters then up there in Glasgow?”
Nicola fired back: “If you’re going to try and oversimplify what I said rather than listen to the nuance of what I said, then fair enough.”
How did Good Morning Britain viewers respond?
As the pair continued on with the debate, fans took to social media to comment.
Many praised Nicola’s approach to the interview, with one saying: “I just love how @NicolaSturgeon doesn’t take any [bleep] from Susanna and Richard who refuse to listen and insist on gaslighting ppl!”
A second tweeted: “#GMB Good on Nicola Sturgeon for putting Susanna in her place. These presenters and journalists don’t listen to the full context they pick out bit and pieces and twist what you say for their own narrative and it’s never positive. @GMB.”

@gmb please tell Susanna to drop the try hard act of twisting and picking apart politicians words. It doesn’t work for her like it did for Piers. She isn’t as quick as him or some politicians to do so. Richard Madeley saved that interview with Nicola Sturgeon #gmb #cop26
