Susanna Reid says she feels she’s in a “constant battle” for airtime with her Good Morning Britain co-host Piers Morgan.

“Sometimes I open my mouth to ask a question and hear Piers’s voice come out,” the presenter told Radio Times.

Although she and Morgan are regularly seen debating on live television, Reid has previously admitted that her co-host’s outspoken nature has reduced her to tears in the past.

Reid moved from BBC Breakfast to ITV’s Good Morning Britain in 2014, and Morgan joined her as co-host in 2015.

She told the magazine that when she learned who her new colleague would be, “I was like… Arghhh!… Sitting next to a hedgehog.” And, she says, she struggled with their relationship until last year.

Despite this, the duo have proved to be a winning partnership for ITV, despite the fact that the show’s viewing figures still trail behind those of their rival, BBC Breakfast.

Reid says her troublesome relationship with Morgan came to a head when he was heavily critical of the Women’s Marches in 2017 - and she was criticised for it.

“It wasn’t women who were criticising me, it was the men,” she said. “They accused me of enabling his anti-feminist views.

“The man sitting next to me was spouting off whatever he believes, which I don’t agree with, and I was trying to stand up for my views, and the right for women to march.

“I had men telling me it was my fault he was saying this. And I was just like, I’ve had enough of men telling me how I should be a feminist. I’ve had enough of it.”

Now, however, Reid says she’s realised she’s not responsible for what Morgan says and it’s not her job “to pick up the pieces.”
