Susanna Reid mocks GMB presenting switch-up after failure to find Piers replacement

Susanna Reid jokingly mocked the Good Morning Britain presenting switch-up as she appeared on Lorraine today.

The ITV presenter has fronted the breakfast show with many different male co-presenters for the past few months after Piers Morgan stepped down from the show following an on-air row with Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle.

Since then, a number of men have rotated the presenting position alongside Susanna including Richard Madeley, Adil Ray, Ben Shephard, Rob Rinder, Ed Balls, Bill Turnbull and Alistair Campbell.

And discussing ITV's tribute to International Women's Day with a group photo of all the female Daytime TV stars, Lorraine quizzed Susanna on what she thought of the switch-up.

"Now when you are presenting right now, it's a little bit like speed dating. There has been a fair few fellas," Lorraine asked, as Susanna joked back: "TV Tinder!"

"It is TV Tinder! There's been quite a few," Lorraine then replied.

Susanna went on to list some of her fellow co-hosts, as clips of them presenting together were shown on screen.

"There's my good friend Rob Rinder, I'm normally out in Ibiza with him. There's Ed Balls, who we know of course. Alistair Campbell aswell," she said, "Richard Madeley, Adil Ray, Bill Turnbull, Richard Bacon, Martin Lewis. Where does it stop?"

Lorraine then added: "It must be quite difficult - because you've got to have a good rapport with someone.

"You and Bill, brilliant; you and Rob Rinder, you know each other really well. You can really tell. But obviously you've been getting to know these guys really well over the years."

To which Susanna replied, "Yes, and as the late great Bruce Forsyth would say, they're all my favourites."

A source had previously described all the presenters as a sort of "super-group".

"It’s been talked about as a super-group of presenters with different personalities, styles and opinions," the insider told The Mirror, "Each brings something fresh to the table and Susanna is the perfect co-host in bringing out their respective qualities."

Good Morning Britain editor Neil Thompson added at the time of Ed Balls and Rob Rinder joining the show: "We have a great existing roster of presenters and it’s always exciting to welcome new guest hosts to the show."
