Susanna Reid Gobsmacked Over Richard Madeley's Weight Jibe On Good Morning Britain mirror.co.uk

Susanna Reid was left stunned today as guest host Richard Madeley made a bizarre comment about her weight.

Covering for Piers Morgan, seasoned presenter Richard opened the show this morning as he introduced the agenda.

Wearing a form-fitting crimson dress, Susanna looked as classy as ever on the ITV daytime show – but she couldn't cover up her shock at Richard's remarks.

"Well good morning, it's just gone 6 o'clock and welcome to the programme, it's nice to be back," he said.

"It's great having you back," Susanna exclaimed.

Richard then looked her up and down, saying: "Well haven't you lost weight since I was last here!"

Susanna's eyes widened in shock as he tried to continue: "I was just going to say, you look amazing."

"Thank you very much, you're very kind," Susanna said.

But Richard kept digging: "Was it hard work?"

"I just stopped eating so much," a flustered Susanna replied. "It was sort of straightforward. I did fall off the wagon and Richard Arnold said, 'Yay, she's back on the sauce!'."

Susanna added that she was no longer drinking and he continued to ask her whether she compulsively weighed herself.

Looking incredibly uncomfortable, Susanna tried to laugh it off before then deflecting it onto him and asking Richard about his new facial hair.
