Susanna Reid left horrified as Piers Morgan lunges for a cheeky Christmas kiss after months of ‘flirting’ live on Good Morning Britain
The filming may have cut away but we have the pictures that show Susanna trying to escape Piers’ embrace
PIERS Morgan was left rejected on Good Morning Britain after he lunged for a kiss with Susanna Reid - and she made a quick escape.
The presenter tried his luck with “Christmas kiss” at the end of the show as the cameras cut away to Lorraine Kelly, leaving Susanna looking horrified.
The lunge occurred after Susanna gave a rundown of the Piers Morgan Christmas Bingo, she said: “We’ve got name dropping Kevin Pieterson, Arsene Wenger, Donald Trump, an inappropriate joke, pen flicking, Madonna, Kim Kardashian, interrupting, Richard Arnold insult, Honey G, a bad accent, going over time – we didn’t get our relationship…”
To which Piers interrupted with: “And we didn’t get lunging in for my Christmas kiss.”
And with that he took a dive for his co-host who looked completely shocked.
While filming may have only captured Piers going in for the kiss, snaps taken as the event happened show Susanna herself lunging, but towards the sofa rather than the open-armed Piers .
However the presenter took the rejection in his stride and managed to laugh off her cold shoulder.
Earlier this week Susanna couldn’t help but cringe as flirty Piers attempted to “ruffle her feathers” with a playful head massage live on air.
The ITV duo were discussing their “perfect relationship” during an interview with Bradley Walsh on Tuesday’s episode of the breakfast show.
The conversation turned to their close bond while commenting on how Piers is often known for pushing guests a little too far during his controversial interviews.
However, Susanna was quick to add: “I don’t love it when he ruffles my feathers.”
Her comment prompted playful Piers to give her a cheeky tickle.

Bradley added: “I think you’ve got the most perfect relationship on a sofa that I have ever seen on TV.
“When [Piers] first joined I said it was a fantastic pairing.”
Cheeky Piers interrupted: “If only Susanna would realise this… that we are… a perfect couple.”
Taking their banter in her stride, Susanna fired back: “If this is a good relationship that explains why I’m single.”
