SUSANNA Reid has said she'll never marry Crystal Palace millionaire boyfriend Steve Parish.
The 47-year-old curtly explained on Good Morning Britain today: "I don’t want to get married. I’ve never wanted to be married.”
She was responding to the usual volley of taunts from Piers Morgan after a story emerged that early-risers are more likely to be married.
"You’ve never been married," he told Susanna, who has to suffer 4am starts for the show. "Well, at the moment.”
She swiftly replied: "No, or likely to be" before going on to insist marriage is not in her plans.
"You're ruling it out?" roared Piers. "Bombshell! Heartbreak for Steve. Ding dong. He wakes up to horror news."
Susanna laughed: "I've never wanted to be married, you know that."
Piers then joked that, as he's the same age as the Palace supremo, he has a chance with Susanna.
“Now we know your preferred range is 53-year-old men. Suddenly I'm feeling perkier about the situation given I’m also 53,” he said.
“I’ve done the maths and I'm waiting for the break-up.”

Susanna replied firmly: “I’m not in the market. I’m off the market.”
The breakfast telly favourite has been dating Steve since August, after they bonded over their love for Crystal Palace FC.
Steve is the 53-year-old chairman and part-owner of the club and is worth an estimated £45million.
He is divorced and has two grown-up daughters while Susanna, who was in a 16-year relationship with Dominic Cotton, has three teenage sons.
