Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan have lifted the lid on their famously fiery dynamic, revealing that they find each other “irritating” and “barely agree”.
Speaking in this week’s issue of OK! Magazine, the golden couple of breakfast television explained how their bickering behaviour isn’t just an act for the cameras.

Piers, 54, reveals, “Both us find each other vaguely irritating most of the time and barely agree. I take a hard-nosed cynical view, and Susanna always takes the nice, non-cynical view.”
And despite having worked together for four years now, Susanna admits that, far from becoming immune to Piers’ controversial opinions over the years, the opposite is true.
“I think he winds me up even more now,” says the 49 year old. “We still have rows off air. At the moment he is quite a wind up because he has a very, very strong view on the biggest story of the moment, Meghan Markle, and of course I take a very different view on her.”
Speaking of the royals, the pair admit they’d love to land an exclusive interview on GMB with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – on one condition.
“Piers wouldn’t be invited,” Susanna says.”It is possible to say that you want to give someone a maternal hug without it meaning something else.”
Differences aside, however, the pair insist there is a mutual respect, trust and even a friendship there, beneath the fireworks.
“We are very honest and frank with each other and I trust him completely,” Susanna says. “If something isn’t right, we will discuss it in a very full and frank way.”
Piers adds, “ You have to have that trust and you have to like and respect each other, otherwise it wouldn’t work…Susanna and I could both finish each other in five minutes, but we choose not to.”
On the horizon for the duo is a big trip to LA next month to cover the Oscars after a successful post-awards ceremony broadcast last year.
They’re hosting once again from the Beverly Hills hotel, where in 2019 they rubbed shoulders with Leonardo DiCaprio in the polo lounge once they were off air.
And they have some more stars in their sights this year.
“My absolute Hollywood icon and hero is Jack Nicholson,” Piers reveals. “Watching him amble in with his shades and a blonde on each arm, that’s a great way to start the evening partying.”
As for Susanna, she would love to bump into a certain Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star.
“Brad Pitt is handsome as hell,” she smiles. “So it would be fun to see him.”
