Self-described 'TV doctor' Christian Jessen called a US colleague a 'shameless f****** crook' for recommending a DIY ventilator to treat the deadly coronavirus.
The Embarrassing Bodies host launched an attack on 'heath activist' Doctor Joseph Mercola on Twitter, after he advised that people try 'nebulized hydrogen peroxide therapy' to tackle the virus.
The American doctor said all a person would need to make this work is a 'nebulizer' - a device that converts medication into a fine mist - and a face mask to cover a person's mouth and nose.
Mercola went on to say that a 'common household hydrogen peroxide, available at most grocery stores and pharmacies' was also necessary.
But Jessen, 43, reported Mercola for 'spreading dangerous bulls**t' and took to Twitter to publicly call him a 'shameless f****** crook'.

Mercola is 'no stranger' to controversy and has in his career been reported by medical watchdog website, Quackwatch for his claims, according to a report in The Sun
Other Twitter users and followers of Jessen's joined him in condemning the dangerous practice.
One person wrote: 'I reported it this morning. As did several others. It's still there?'
While another wrote: 'Wow I can't believe he's telling people to breathe in bleach.'
Another person wrote: 'Shocking with so many reports that @TwitterSafety haven't blocked them yet.'
And yet another wrote in response: 'This is going to kill people.....this will actually kill people.'
This Twitter user replied to Jessen's slam saying they had also reported the 'dangerous' claim

American doctor Mercola wrote on Twitter on 9 April: 'Nebulized hydrogen peroxide therapy is an inexpensive and simple way to treat most viral respiratory illnesses.
'All you need is a nebulizer with a face mask that covers your mouth and nose, and common household hydrogen peroxide, available at most grocery stores and pharmacies.'
On 12 April Jessen wrote in response: 'You are a SHAMELESS f****** crook. Reported for spreading dangerous bulls**t.'
Mercola is 'no stranger' to controversy and has in his career been reported by medical watchdog website, Quackwatch for his claims, according to a report in The Sun.
According to The Sun's report, the US Food and Drug Administration has also issued warnings to the US doctor 'multiple times' about illegal claims made about his products' ability to treat illness.
The heated Twitter exchange between Jessen and Mercola
Jessen was called a 'd***head' and told to 'f*** off' by Italian footballer Ciro Immobile, over offensive comments the celebrity doctor made about Italians using the pandemic as an excuse to 'shut down everything' and have a 'long siesta'
Jessen has been at the centre of a disagreement about issues relating to coronavirus before.
In March, he was called a 'd***head' and told to 'f*** off' by Italian footballer Ciro Immobile, over offensive comments the celebrity doctor made about Italians using the pandemic as an excuse to 'shut down everything' and have a 'long siesta'.
Appearing on FUBAR Radio's 'Access All Areas', Jessen said: 'This might be a little bit racist to say this, [and] you'll have to make apologies, but do you not think it's a bit of an excuse?' - according to The Sun's report.
Jessen then goes on to say: 'The Italians, any old excuse to, you know, shut down everything and stop work for a bit and have a long siesta.
'I think it's an epidemic lived out more in the press than in reality.
'I mean if you think about flu right, without getting too heavy, flu kills thousands every single year.'
Italy is one of Europe's hardest-hit countries by Covid-19, with 156,363 confirmed cases and 20,465 deaths.
