When Waleed Aly welcomed her to the program, she responded, “I’m going very well, little Wally’ before she ignored the panel’s questions and repeatedly jibed Aly.

“And I have to tell the viewers, that he really does look like this. He does! It’s not a trick of the lights!”

To which Aly replied, “I’m just trying to figure out what response you are looking for here.”

But it didn’t stop there.

Dame Edna was appearing on the program to endorse Peter Alexander pyjamas and joked about “making bed fun.”

“Now, I don’t know if you believe in that, Waleed,” she said.

Viewers of the program weren’t too impressed with her attitude and have slammed her on social media accusing her to be “super awkward and passive aggressive” to the host.

Have a watch for yourself.
