ITV Good Morning Britain hit with official complaints over Susanna Reid interview

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Good Morning Britain is often dividing viewers - but a number have people have lodged official complaints following an interview with Susanna Reid and the Prime Minister.

The presenter finally got to talk to Boris Johnson, almost five years after he last spoke to the ITV programme. Susanna, 51, headed to Downing Street to conduct the interview live from Number 10 on last Tuesday's show (May 3).

The conversation came three years after Mr Johnson famously ran away from her and Piers by hiding in a fridge in the lead up to the 2019 General Election and a whopping 1790 days since the PM has spoken to GMB.

After introducing his interview, Susanna didn't hold back with her first question. She said: "Well thank you for being back with us, and it seems remarkable that before we get back into talking about Ukraine, so many people want to know, are you honest, Prime Minister?

Susanna then replied: "I just want a straight answer – you’re an honest speaker?" Mr Johnson responded: "Yes, and er, I do my best to represent faithfully and accurately what I believe, and sometimes it’s controversial and sometimes it offends people, but that’s what I do." There was also bafflement from GMB viewers as Mr Johnson arrived late for the interview 'in his own home'.
