Susanna Reid gets apology from GMB co-host after gift leads to 'unintended consequences'

Susanna Reid, 50, received a pink face covering from her colleague Charlotte Hawkins, that showed a finger pressed to a set of lips with the words “shhh” inscribed on it. However, the Good Morning Britain presenter soon received a cheeky quip from co-host Piers Morgan over the “phallic” design of the mask.

The outspoken journalist pulled on a mask emblazoned with the words “wake up” – the title of his new book – while Susanna, who has been nicknamed “pouty”, wore her gift from Charlotte in the latest instalment.

Turning to look at his co-host’s choice of mask, Piers responded: “I don’t think you should be wearing that.

“That looks a little phallic to me!”

However, Susanna protested: “It’s a finger!”

Piers and Susanna both gushed over the video.

Speaking to Charlotte via video link, Piers joked: “Do you know what? Finally, we’ve got some talent from that family. She can properly sing. She even looks like Shirley Temple.”

Charlotte shares Ella with her husband Mark Herbert, with the couple marrying in 2008 after five years together.

In 2018, the presenter, who gave birth to Ella when she was 39, spoke out on the difficulty of conceiving.
