Former national security adviser Sir Mark Lyall Grant has denied he "mansplained" situations to Prime Minister Theresa May.
Sir Mark, who stood down earlier this year, insisted he had a good relationship with the PM but revealed tensions with some of Mrs May's political advisers.
Asked about reports he had been accused of "mansplaining" to the PM, Sir Mark told BBC Radio Four's Today programme: "No, it's not a report that I recognise, and she wouldn't recognise either.
"I had a very good relationship with David Cameron. I had a very good relationship with Theresa May. Obviously, when you work in Downing Street there are tensions.
"And there were some tensions, I have to say, with some of her political advisers in Downing Street, who are no longer in Downing Street now.
