Susanna Reid, 50, caused quite a stir when she wore a more plunging dress than normal on Good Morning Britain last month.
Donning a satin green leopard print number that exposed her ample bosom, fans went into overdrive at the sight of the presenter’s incredibly booby look, but now her co-host Piers Morgan has declared she actually “loves” the attention.
Piers, 55, said he thought the whole thing was “quite funny”, and is convinced his longtime colleague and co-anchor has enjoyed the comments since she turned 50.
“It was quite funny because normally she would hate that kind of stuff, she likes to pretend she hates it, but then I don’t think she does,” the journalist told The Sun.

“I’ve always had a theory that she loves it but pretends to hate it.
“When she turned 50 something changed because about three days later she was voted best bottom in the world or something, including JLo and Beyoncé, and she couldn’t have been happier.”
He added that, recently, Susanna had been swimming in compliments, after she was also included in a front page newspaper spread about “Miss Perfect”, which described every part of her body as “utter perfection”.

The presenter went on to say his co-host was initially shocked by the “objectification”, but decided to embrace it eventually.
He said he thought it was amusing and that “there must come a point where you think, thank god they are still noticing”.
Susanna shared a post on her Instagram page in response to the comments about her controversial dress in January.

“Shocker! Woman has cleavage,” she fumed. “Realised it is still before watershed so here’s a nice covered up version.”
Piers also said he would only present GMB as long as Susanna continued to do it alongside him, in a rare moment of sentimentality for the newspaper columnist.
“We’re a team. It would be like splitting up Henry and Bergkamp at Arsenal,” he told The Sun. “Never going to work. You couldn’t have one without the other. Yin and Yang.
He added that the duo have a “rare” connection that isn’t usual for TV partnerships, saying it works so well he “couldn’t imagine doing it without her”.
The presenter joked that not only has he only done the show without Susanna a couple of times, but he’s never been on the same programme with Ben Shepherd.
Could they end up being a killer duo if it ever happens?
