Susanna Reid couldn’t resist making a dig at her former Good Morning Britain co-host Piers Morgan on Monday.
The mum-of-three was joined by Martin Lewis as he made his GMB presenting debut, but it wasn’t long before he went missing.
As the ITV show returned from an advert break, Susanna and Charlotte Hawkins were sat the desk but Martin was nowhere to be seen.
“He’s gone already, was it something you said?” Charlotte asked Susanna, to which she replied: I don’t know what I said!”
The crew were heard laughing in the background as Martin suddenly strolled back onto the set.

“I was thinking I’d walk, I’d go,” Martin joked. “But the truth is people, when you’re new to a job and you’ve been drinking tea since 7 o’clock this morning, and then you can’t find the loo in the ad break, you might occasionally be late back to your desk.”
As he sat down at the desk, Martin added: “Move on Susanna, help me!”

“TMI Martin, TMI,” she replied. “Look, we’ve got an issue with people leaving the studio on this programme so I’m glad you’re back.”
Susanna’s comment was clearly an obvious dig to her former colleague Piers, who stormed off the show in March during a heated conversation with Alex Beresford.
After Piers aired his thoughts on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, Alex decided to call him out live on GMB.
Challenging Piers on his attacks, Alex said: “I understand that you don’t like Meghan Markle. You’ve made it so clear a number of times on this programme.
“I understand you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or had one and she cut you off… she’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to.
“Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has, but yet you continue to trash her.”

Piers eventually marched off set before returning to continue presenting the show. However, the fateful episode also marked the end of Piers’ tenure at GMB as he quit the following day.
ITV are yet to permanently replace Piers on the show, but Susanna has been joined by various different hosts over the past few months.
As well as Martin Lewis, she has hosted the show with the likes of Adil Ray and Richard Madeley.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays ay 6am on ITV.
