Susanna Reid worked with Piers Morgan for six years on the set of Good Morning Britain, and the co-hosts were one of the breakfast show’s most popular presenter pairings.They were so close that Piers previously dubbed Susanna his “TV wife”.But last year, Piers made a dramatic exit from the show when he stormed off set after a disagreement with weather presenter Alex Beresford.During the next airing of the show, Susanna told viewers that she and Piers “disagreed on many things” and she also described him as an “outspoken, challenging, opinionated, disruptive broadcaster”. Later that day, he quit the ITV show after a personal complaint from Meghan Markle to the broadcaster.But a year on from his explosive departure, we’ve taken a look at how Susanna is doing without Piers, and what she thinks of the presenter now.

She's probably wearing heels.So what. Heightist.”“Perspective and heels.

Piers Morgan: Uncensored was off to a rocky start within just seconds of it starting, as he was forced to abandon a chat with Anne Robinson due to a technical blunder.Piers had promised an explosive interview with the former Countdown host, but appearing via video link at the start of his programme, things didn't go quite to plan.As Anne was quizzed about what was to come on the show when her interview began, she simply said: "I can't hear you," and began fiddling with her earpiece in confusion."Save it for the interview!" Piers replied, trying his best to salvage the situation, before Anne repeated that she couldn't hear what he was saying to an off-screen crew member."We'll save it for the interview later," the host repeated, before the video link abruptly cut off.When Anne finally appeared in the studio, she hit out at Piers: "What happened? You can't afford sound in the green room?"Piers then joked: "I said, 'Turn her off' because once she gets out here she'll give me hell!"But Anne looked set to compliment the presenter as she said: "I've got to say, since you've gotten older you've gotten more attractive!" before pointing out the "bits of grey" in his hair "like George Clooney".Piers was once again challenging what he calls the 'woke brigade' amid a row about whether trans athletes should be able to compete against their cisgender counterparts.During an interview with skateboarding champ Taylor May Silverman, he let slip that it's "completely unfair", adding: "Women are just born with inferior physical bodies."Anne, of course, was in agreement with Piers, who insists it's "not transphobic" to call out the issue.But the pair erupted into a fiery row as Anne told Piers: "Are you interviewing me, or am I interviewing
