Myleene Klass was involved in a lively clash with Ed Miliband over mansion tax on TV yesterday (November 17).
The singer and model vehemently disagreed with the Labour Party's proposed taxation on homes worth over £2 million, branding it "disturbing".
Speaking on ITV's The Agenda, Klass said: "For me, it's so disturbing - the name in its own right: 'mansion tax'."
She added that the tax would affect 'grannies', before adding: "Immediately you conjure up an image of these Barbie-esque houses, but in London, which is where 80% of the people who will be paying this tax actually live, have you seen what that amount of money can get you? It's like a garage."
Miliband said that the tax would bring in money for the NHS, saying: "The NHS is going backwards under this government and it can't survive with just the resources that it has."
