SUSANNA Reid couldn’t contain herself as Ben Shephard conjured up a plan to find her a man on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain.

The single presenter, who split from her partner of 16 years in 2014, insisted she’s “not looking” as Ben Shephard playfully teased her after she gushed over Beauty and the Beast actor Dan Stevens.

As the presenters looked at a preview of Dan dressed up as the iconic Disney beast, Susanna joked: “I’ve never seen Dan Stevens looking better.”

Her unexpected comment sent the GMB studio into fits of laughter.

Ben responded: “You like a hirsute man, a beast!"

Ben added: “I tell you what, we’ll find you a man if it kills us.”

Unable to contain her laughter, Susanna struggled to reply: “I’m not looking!”

Her co-host continued to tease: “Someone with hair preferably.”

Talking about her single status, Susanna opened up to Weekend magazine about her separation from Dominic Cotton, the father of her children.

She said: "I am a single mum, but I'm not a single parent.

"The children have two fully involved, full-time parents who are extremely good friends.

"Between us we are there for them all the time and I think our children know that.

"I'm not sitting in judgement on other people's relationships and splits, and there's all sorts of circumstances you just can't account for, but I think we've managed to get to a good place."

When quizzed if she's ready to get back into the game in September, Susanna added: "You can ask me about it, but I wouldn't talk about it.

"I would never discuss my love life.

"Not even a tantalising hint, I'm really sorry."
