Health Minister Vaughan Gething was overheard being rude about Jenny Rathbone during a Welsh Assembly session, which was held virtually due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

He said: ''What the f*** is the matter with her?''

Gething has since issued an apology, although opposition parties have called for his sacking after the inappropriate remark.

Vaughan tweeted: ''I'm obviously embarrassed about my comments at the end of questions today. I've sent a message apologising and offered to speak to Jenny Rathbone if she wishes to do so.

''It is an unwelcome distraction at a time of unprecedented challenge.''

Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price said the incident showed Gething does not have the right attitude to lead the Welsh government's response to the health crisis.

Adam said: ''He does not have the right attitude, skills or temperament to lead the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic.''
