THIS is the shocking moment a Channel 4 star was confronted by a tractor driver - after she asked him to slow down for her horse.

Cheat Detectives presenter Liv Shelby took her three-year-old horse Selina out for her first ever walk on the road near Manchester on Friday.

When a tractor came down the narrow path, Selina is thought to have recoiled in fear.

Liv told its driver: "She's never seen a tractor".

But the fuming driver refused to slow down - and instead began raging at Liv.

He said: "Do not wave at me, little girl. Get that horse out of the way now."

Gesturing at Selina, he added: "If you can't control that, you shouldn't be allowed to...'

Liv interrupted: "She's never seen a tractor."

The driver shouted: "Shut up! I'm talking to you, alright. So do not wave like that again at me.

Liv replied: "I just said slow down."

The driver said: "Slow down! I've been driving round here for fifty years, alright."

While Selina whinnied, Liv said: "Alright."

The driver said: "Don't do that again".

As he turned to climb back up into his tractor, Liv turned to comfort a neighing Selina.

Liv posted shocking helmet footage of the shouting match on social media.

She said: "Spreading awareness to people, you need to slow down for horses.

"What this man did was illegal, threatening and bullying.

"My poor pony is only three years old, her first time on the road and we were completely bullied to get out of the way."

Rule 215 of the Highway Code says that drivers should be "particularly careful" around horses - and should not exceed 10mph.

It adds: "Be patient, do not sound your horn or rev your engine.
