Bermuda has been trashed in front of millions of viewers across America and Canada on a popular day-time television show.

Soap star and co-host of the `Live with Regis' show Kelly Ripa - who was taking the lead role in host Regis Philbin's absence - and guest Hector Elizondo, who starred in comic film `Tortilla Soup', swapped sarcastic anecdotes about their recent stay on the Island during the morning ABC chat show broadcast yesterday.

People who saw the show rang The Royal Gazette.
