Sounds like he was answering the question put in front of him and being shot down as the messenger, basically stating the current rules permit you to end your quarantine if you are going on holiday abroad again. I have to assume someone of his reputation has checked that and wouldn't state it if it wasn't the case - I know if you claim to be going on a business trip you are permitted to fly out again so wouldn't surprise me if it's the same with personal holidays too.
Anyway, as suspected viewers are "disgusted" according to the tabloids, but then they were also "disgusted" when Eamonn suggested an alternative ingredient in a recipe of James Martin's too.

Apparently Ruth 'slammed' him...
That first half hour of today’s show is going to generate some tabloid stories I expect
Simon Calder was on talking about the quarantine rules and was giving dodgy advice that was not in the spirit of the rules and was not giving up
Ruth had to shut him down and looked annoyed at him for the rest of the item
