Susannah Reid ‘CRIES’ on air as Piers Morgan reveals he’s taking a break from Good Morning Britain to go back to the USA
The brunette couldn’t help but mock his departure with some fake tears
THEY are the best of frenemies who are constantly mocking each other on air – so Piers Morgan must have been surprised to see Susanna Reid crying over him this morning.
As he announced on Good Morning Britain that this was his last show for five weeks as he heads to Hollywood, Susanna couldn’t help but get out a tissue and sob.
Of course, she was only being sarcastic and playing up to the cameras as she dabbed her very dry eyes while smirking at the camera.
The pair were wrapping up this morning’s show when Piers said, “That’s it, I’m not back now until September 5th” as Susanna wiped her her hand across her brow and said “phew”.
Unimpressed, Piers gave her a look and said, “Anything you want to say?” to which she replied, “Do you want me to weep a bit?”
He then said, “I dunno, something would be nice, something that shows you’re going to miss me,” as she smirked and said: “Have a lovely … break.”
Viewers were then given the weather report before the camera cut back to Piers and Susanna, who was pretending to sob into a tissue.
Piers then asked the weather man, “Do you have a forecast for Beverley Hills while Susanna is weeping,” but was told in no uncertain terms that he’d used up all the time.
Piers then said: “Ah well, Britain’s loss is going to be Hollywood’s gain, I’m flying off today to the Tinseltown.”
As Susanna smirked at the camera again, she said, “Was that enough fake tears for you?” as Piers replied: “Yes! No, I know you’re going to miss me.”
There’s no love lost between the pair but it has made for some very entertaining viewing since they were thrown together on the GMB couch back in November last year.
Amusing moments have included his revelation – much to her horror – that he had been watching her on Strictly Come Dancing and told her, “I was watching videos of you the other day.
