‘I’m rather overdoing the comfort eating!’ Susanna Reid plays down a compliment by admitting she’s overeating after a fan calls her ‘sexy’

Susanna Reid has joked that she is ‘overeating’ after a fan complimented the glamorous presenter on her appearance.

The Good Morning Britain co-host, 49, responded after being called ‘sexy’ by one impressed follower on social networking site Twitter.

But she played down the accolade, insisting her appearance has in fact suffered thanks to a hitherto unknown predisposition to unhealthy food.

The posts came shortly before Susanna left co-host Piers Morgan speechless during Thursday’s edition of Good Morning Britain.  

The usually outspoken Morgan was seemingly lost for words after showing off a gold pilot’s helmet that had been gifted him earlier that morning, prompting a close-to-the-knuckle reply from Susanna.

‘So this is great, this was waiting for me in my dressing room today,’ the 55-year old announced after retrieving the headwear from beneath his desk.

‘Is that your lockdown helmet?’ Susanna remarked, resulting in the pair bursting into fits of knowing laughter.

Momentarily speechless, a stunned Piers attempted to move on with the segment after responding: ‘Easy tiger!’
