PIERS Morgan says Susanna Reid "loves it" when people talk about her cleavage - and says he wouldn't do Good Morning Britain without her if she leaves.
The Good Morning Britain host, 50, made headlines after wearing a "sexy cleavage dress" on the ITV show in January.
While Susanna has hit out at the criticism - insisting "women have boobs" - Piers claims his co-presenter loves the attention.
Speaking to The Sun's TV Mag, he said: "It was quite funny because normally she would hate that kind of stuff, she likes to pretend she hates it, but then I don’t think she does.
"I’ve always had a theory that she loves it but pretends to hate it. When she turned 50 something changed because about three days later she was voted best bottom in the world or something, including JLo and Beyoncé, and she couldn’t have been happier.
"Then this time, she not only did her cleavage get national attention, but then you lot put her on the front page then did a whole page inside about Miss Perfect, with every body part being described as utter perfection.
"Susanna was like, what the hell, I've turned 50, normally I wouldn’t like this kind of objectification but f*** it I’m loving it! (laughs) I thought that was funny because there must come a point where you think, thank god they are still noticing."
Addressing the attention on Instagram on January 24, Susanna said: "SHOCKER! Woman has cleavage.
"Realised it is STILL before watershed so here’s a nice covered up version."
Piers also said he wouldn't continue with presenting Good Morning Britain without Susanna.

He continued: "No. We’re a team. It would be like splitting up Henry and Bergkamp at Arsenal. Never going to work. You couldn’t have one without the other. Yin and Yan.
"We have a connection which is quite rare in television and it works so well that I couldn’t imagine doing it without her.
"In five and a bit years now, I’ve only ever done the show without Susanna maybe twice. I’ve never been on the same show as Ben Shepherd!
"People, all think we’re part if a happy team… I love Ben, he’s a great guy and we text each other, but I’ve never done the show with him! I think I’ve done the show with Kate twice.
"Actually that’s not true, I did it with Charlotte and Ranvir in the pandemic when Susanna had to isolate for two weeks, so there were two other occasions before then. And look I love all my colleagues, it was great, but I do think Susanna and I are a team, I couldn’t imagine not doing it with her."
