Susanna Reid, 52, has presented on Good Morning Britain since 2015 alongside Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway, but formerly worked alongside Piers Morgan before he left ITV last year.She is no stranger to criticism from opinionated viewers, but was left baffled as she and Piers were slammed for "gobby virtue signalling" on the show yesterday, despite the latter's departure to TalkTV, while she took to Twitter to further call out the government for their "misleading" £2,500 energy cap figure.Susanna sent a Twitter message after the show, in view of her 889,300 followers, to further her on-air conversation with Martin Lewis.She wrote: "I was with a photographer who rang his energy company in despair as his bill was going from £3k to £5k."'I asked why it wasn’t capped at £2500 like we’d been told'."This is why the govt trotting out the £2500 figure is misleading.The cap is per UNIT of energy NOT per bill."In a now-deleted tweet, a viewer seemed to have criticised the presenter for not understanding how the energy bill cap works.Susanna replied: "I understand very well how it works.The photographer I was with did not."The opinionated viewer Ankertil hit back: "I don't watch the show but her n Morgan are both gobby virtue signalling plant pots."A flabbergasted Susanna hinted at the viewer's error in not realising Piers had quit the show some time ago, as she simply sighed: "Where to start...?"She then shared a short GIF of herself looking unamused with her eyes wide open, showing her shock and exasperation over the GMB criticism.Susanna went on to reply to several other Twitter users, who even began to criticise her use of quotation marks in her original tweet.GXBlue1 said: "Are you really this dim Susanna?
