Spencer and Heidi Pratt have made an unlikely new enemy: Al Roker.

On Monday's Today show, the cohost grilled the two reality stars on their recent stint on NBC's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. At one point, he asked Heidi if she was proud of their behavior on the show. As she danced around the question, Roker cut her off and sternly asked, "No [the question is], are you proud of this?" Roker also took Spencer to task, telling him that people think he acts like a "jerk."

After the interview, Roker couldn't hold his disdain for the two.

"Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for...being infamous," he Tweeted. "Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we're at minute 11 of their 15."

Spencer shot back on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show.

"Was the weatherman asking us questions? I thought we were getting interviewed by a guy named Matt Lauer," he said. "We were thrown off that the weatherman was even trying to talk to Speidi."

Heidi complained that Roker didn't even thank them after the interview.

"I was shocked at how rude he was," she told Seacrest. "I was crying afterwards because I felt personally attacked because he was yelling and saying, 'Do you feel proud of this?'"

She went on, "I felt like saying, 'Do you feel proud of what you're saying [to us]?' I'm a young woman and you're coming at me so mean-spirited."

"We were going there for a great interview. I just wanted to talk about the show and my experience there and how fun it was," she said. "He just made it uncomfortable and an awful experience. To be honest, I wouldn't be interviewed by him again. And I'd advise women to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely attacked me and I didn't deserve that at all."

    Ego is a bad bedfellow and Spencer is just full of it and self importance. In fact if you don't watch MTV you probably never heard of the Prats. Steven Baldwin should really have a heart to heart talk to Spencer of what it means to become a Christain. Being baptised is one step but giving you life fully and wholly over to Jesus is the 1st step. Spencer and Heidi have a long ways to go,

    I loved how Roker handled Speidi, those two are opportunist crybaby's who seem to turn every shot at fame they get into a sour spectacle. The comment that they "were thrown off that the weatherman was even trying to talk to Speidi." just shows how non-respectful and egotistical they are, they should have been thrilled that Al was speaking to them. Actually they should be

    Go Al Roker! I am so sick and tired of hearing about those two. They are so whiney and spoiled. Seriously Spencer needs punched in the face for being such an arrogant a** and she needs to come back down to planet earth. Hello Heidi your husband is a cheating ba**tard and treats you like crap. Find a real man! You already lost a really good friend over him, you deserve each other.
