SUSANNA Reid was shocked today as Good Morning Britain's camera made her look twice the size of co-star Ben Shephard.

The broadcaster, 49, yelled "oh my goodness, I'm enormous" as she clocked the difference between the pair on-screen.

The ITV show has started a new filming technique this week to make the presenters look closer together amid social distancing.

However, the perspective was all wrong today, and it left Kate Garraway howling with laughter in the studio.

She joked: "It looks like you're going to eat Ben."

Cheeky chap Ben quipped: "It wouldn't be the first time."

Susanna then self-deprecatingly said: "I knew I’d out put on a few pounds over lockdown."

Dr Hilary Jones was left baffled and told his co-stars he thought the antics were a rehearsal before they went live.

Earlier in the show Kate revealed she might struggle reading the news because of her sore eye.

She's been wearing glasses for the last few days and told Smooth Radio listeners on her first show back yesterday: "Morning - am I looking clever?

"I always think that when I've got my glasses on I look a bit more brainy. But if you're listening to me on Smooth Radio you'll know that nothing has actually changed.

"I've got a really sore eye. It's really hurting and I don't know what I've done to it. I can't put my contacts in and I'm wearing my glasses."
