He told Mr Corbyn: Your reckless socialist ideas are genuinely terrifying to me my family and my friends and I think freedom would genuinely erode if you got to No10.
But the leftie-boss hit back that he could do nothing about the ideas in your head and said he had been fighting for the freedom of others his whole life.
He said: Freedom and rights in democracy are very important Ive spent my life getting into hot water defending people because I think their humans rights in jeopardy.
It comes as Mr Corbyns fantasy spending plans have been slammed as not credible by an economics expert who says they will hit ordinary Brits in the pocket.
The Labour boss plans to pay for his Marxist vision of 1970s-style renationalisation by raising 82.9bn with a series of 12 tax hikes.
But Paul Johnson, director of independent think-tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said it was simply not credible for Labour to raise the sum by slapping a tough tax on businesses and Britains highest earners.
He told ITV: You cannot raise that kind of money in our tax system without affecting individuals.
Mr Johnson was stunned by Labours radical spending plan.
Ahead of the debate, he said: Its impossible to overstate just how extraordinary this manifesto in terms of the sheer scale of money being spent and raised through the tax system.

Hundreds of billions of additional spending on investment, 80 billion plus per year on spending on day-to-day things; social security, spending on the NHS, students loans and so on.
Matched by, supposedly, an 80 billion increase in tax.
These are vast numbers enormous, colossal, in the context of anything weve seen ever really.
