Susanna Reid shades Patsy Palmer after she angrily cuts short Good Morning Britain interview

Susanna Reid made a not so subtle dig at Patsy Palmer after the ex EastEnders actress angrily cut short her interview on Good Morning Britain.

Patsy, 48, made what turned out to be a very brief appearance on the ITV daytime show to speak to Susanna and co-host Ben Shephard.

But after things got off to a rather awkward start after Ben asked her if she moved to LA to escape people "shouting Rickaaayyy," Patsy stormed off GMB over how she was referred to in an on-screen caption.

The caption, which Ben claimed was a quote from her own book, read 'addict to wellness guru' but reacting badly to it, Patsy fumed: "You know what, I don't even want to do this interview, because I don't even want to look what it says at the bottom of that screen.

So I am just going to switch off, do a real Piers Morgan, and say it's not okay to have 'addict to wellness guru' on the bottom of the screen."

She added: "My issues that I had years ago, that were talked about many years ago, and it's over, so I am not going to talk to you, don't worry about it but I don't want to talk to you," and ended the call.

Reacting to it minutes later as she teased an upcoming chat with cricketer Phil Tufnell, Susanna said: "Let's hope he stays with us!"

And then, after Phil appeared on screen following an ad break, Susanna sarcastically asked him: "Any areas you don't want to cover this morning that we should be warned about before we launch into this now?"

Referring to the Patsy drama, he replied: "I don't quite know what happened there! No you're good, I'm here for a few minutes."

Susanna then added: "I'm on TV but it doesn't mean I want everything in my life disclosed.

"We have this issue with Harry and Meghan and then we had an issue earlier with Patsy who didn't want to talk about a certain thing."
