Both sides played down the suggestion that the encounter between Mrs Badenoch and Mr Frangopoulos was in any way acrimonious.
But allies of the Tory leader confirmed to the Mail on Sunday that she mentioned the prospect of regulatory implications amid the possible blurring of Mr Farage’s roles as both politician and broadcaster.
GB News sources admitted that the amount of airtime given to Mr Farage was highlighted.
The revelations come as Mr Farage warned he will not back down in the row with the Tory leader which erupted when she accused the arch-Brexiteer of "fakery" over claims his party had overtaken the number of Tory members.
