Ben Shephard left red-faced on GMB after Susanna Reid nipple comment

Good Morning Britain presenter Ben Shephard was left absolutely mortified on today's show after he made an awkward comment about nipples on air.

Ben made a comment about "his nipples" after his face was projected onto co-presenter Susanna Reid's dress.

Susanna was also left red-faced by his remarks and Ben immediately tried back track on what he said.

The whole blunder happened because Susanna was wearing a green dress, much like a 'green screen' meaning things could be projected onto her.

The technical crew then decided for a bit of a laugh, to project a load of images of Ben's face onto her outfit, causing many giggles from behind the scenes.

Susanna said: "Ah that's lovely, fully clad in Ben Shephard."

He added: "Susanna is wrapped in the warmth of a Ben blanket, light and airy."

Susanna told him: "I quite like that," but what Ben said next leave her shocked. He said: "My nipples are..." before he abruptly stopped, and then asked himself: "My nipples?"

Susanna's face dropped into an expression of confusion and alarm, and she shouted: "What? What?"

Dr Hilary Jones and Ranvir Singh could be heard laughing, as a red-faced Ben tried to explain what he was meaning to say.

Looking really embarrassed, he pulled a face before saying: "I didn't..." as Ranvir continued to roar with laughter.

Susanna asked: "Did your inner thoughts come out on national television to millions Ben Shephard?"

Wiping his eyes, Ben shouted: "No!" as Hilary called it a "freudian slip".

Ben then claimed he'd mistakenly said nipples instead of nostrils, saying: "They're very easily confused."

He added to Hilary: "Don't throw me under the bus," as he told him he could not help him out of this one.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
