Susanna Reid, 46, shares make-up free selfie to show her ‘lines and flaws’
The Good Morning Britain presenter encouraged women not to compare themselves to others online
SUSANNA Reid has shared an inspiring make-up free selfie with her followers as she encourages women not to compare themselves with others.
In the Instagram snap, the Good Morning Britain presenter shared a picture of her bare-face compared to one of her fully made up.
She captioned it: "Me on Instagram = extra eyelashes, make-up & filters. Me in Real life = blemishes, lines & flaws.
"There's a time & value for both but don't compare your behind-the-scenes to others' highlights reels. Happy Being You Year!"
The picture got a huge response from her followers with many telling her she was 'amazing' for sharing the honest snap.
One wrote: "You are stunning without make up too, I love that you have posted this, happy new year Susanna x."
Another added: "Brave move Susanna, I wonder how many other celebrities would be as brave, good for you, stunning girl xx."
A third said: "We love all the blemishes, lines & Flaws, it's all part of what makes you the Susanna we all know & love on breakfast TV every morning! None of us perfect, your just one of the lucky ones. Brains & beauty!!"
While she was happy to share a picture of her bare face, Susanna shut down a fan who begged her some saucy nude snaps last week.
The social media user, who goes under the name Scott Mctwatkins, wasn't shy about his affections for yummy mummy Susanna and sent her the public request to "post nudes."
He followed up his message to Susanna - who is on a break from presenting duties during the festive season - with an Emoji thumbs-up sign.
Yet despite bravely trying his luck, it was all in vain.
Susanna swiftly replied and told her bold fan: "A nude tree is as good as you're going to get," perhaps referring to her Christmas tree, once stripped of decorations.
The London-based user then got back in touch to write: "Ahhhh dammit! U can't blame a guy for trying!," followed up with a smiley face icon crying with laughter.
Sure enough, the former Strictly Come Dancing competitor lived up to her word.
Susanna, 46, then took to her page to upload a shot of bare-branched trees against the backdrop of a sunrise, with the words: "It's a frostily, magically beautiful morning.
"Have a wonderful day."
The telly favourite is renowned for her flirty banter with co-host Piers Morgan.
Some of her fans commented the ex newspaper man might not be impressed to discover she had another admirer, with one writing: "Blimey @piersmorgan will be getting jealous."
Deciding not to comment, he simply re-Tweeted her message.
Meanwhile, on Christmas Day Piers joked they were 'tweeting from the same jacuzzi'.
