Following last night's explosive interview with Jonathan Bell and new allegations from Arlene Foster, reaction on social media has ranged from incredulous to highly amused at the whole affair.

In a landmark interview broadcast last night, the former economy minister broke party ranks to call for First Minister Arlene Foster to apologise for how she handled the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.

He claimed Mrs Foster shouted at him in a "hostile" and "abusive" meeting in January this year and insisted the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) should not be closed.
