Susanna Reid rushes to support GMB co-star as he 'totally freezes' in live on air mistake

Susanna Reid, 50, was quick to reach out to her Good Morning Britain co-star Richard Gaisford after he stumbled over his words while discussing President Joe Biden’s inauguration on the show this morning.

Susanna’s co-host Piers Morgan, 55, instructed the US correspondent to “go to bed” following his blunder.

The journalist, who had been awake all night covering the momentous occasion, was discussing the changes Biden has already made in The White House.

However, he then got slightly muddled, saying: “And he’s going to also stop people from, erm… I apologise, I’ve completely lost my thread.

“I’m so sorry.”

Fortunately, Susanna was on hand to share some reassuring words with Richard when he took to Twitter to address his error.

He penned: “Thanks for all the kind messages – it’s not until you screw up you realise how kind people can be.

“Total brain freeze @GMB. Will thaw it out by tomorrow. Promise. X.”

Susanna retweeted Richard’s post in view of her 791,000 followers and added: “Things go wrong live on air – we forget what we meant to say and make mistakes.

“Viewers love it when you own it like you did!”
