Piers Morgan insists he’s ‘in a relationship’ with GMB co-host Susanna Reid as she looks horrified

PIERS Morgan insisted he's "in a relationship" with his Good Morning Britain co-host Susanna Reid - and she looked horrified.

The presenter, 55, says his friendship with his co-host, 50, was stronger than just "work colleagues".

However, Susanna looked horrified at the phrasing - and labelled their relationship a "reluctance".

The conversation started when Susanna wore a mask with some censored profanity on it.

Piers said: "Talking of people who say one thing and do the other, this is somebody who for five years of our relationship, every time I have used that word, has immediately turned to the camera and made a very pompous apology on my behalf.

"Susanna would you like to apologise?"

Susanna sarcastically said: "Terribly sorry about that," before adding, "By the way, we're not in a relationship, what's that about?"

Piers was indignant, doubling down: We are in a relationship. We're literally in a relationship. What would you call a relationship?"

"We work together. We're work colleagues," Susanna clarified.

Piers then gestured to the studio: "It's more than that. You work with this lot. Come on look."

Susanna continued to look shocked: "Piers. I'm not in a relationship with them either. Unless someone hasn't told me something."

Piers said: "Apart from your immediate people in your life, who do you have more contact with?"

"I know I spend far too much time with you every day," Susanna conceded.

Piers replied: "Yeah, what do you call that?"
