Susanna Reid halts Good Morning Britain as co-star makes OnlyFans admission
Ed Balls was stunned when he learned that one guest made a six-figure salary on OnlyFans.
Good Morning Britain 's Susanna Reid had to step into a discussion live on TV to remind her co-stars that they were still on air. The chat on Monday morning's show turned to how much content creators on OnlyFans can make, leaving Ed Balls gobsmacked at the possibilities.
Earlier in the programme, British canoeist Kurts Adams Rozentals had appeared alongside the hosts where he revealed he was now making a six-figure salary on OnlyFans, but he had been banned from competing after 'allegations' about his social media posts.
Discussing the athlete's change in career, Ed told viewers: 'We are in the wrong jobs!'
GMB guest Andrew Pierce then said: 'Ed, are you putting yourself forward as a potential model on OnlyFans?'
The Strictly star laughed: 'It's amazing on the internet what you can make money from."
He then joked there'd be a 'niche' for Andrew, while Kevin Maguire stepped in with: 'There'll be a fetish stream!'
Ed then pointed out that a career on OnlyFans isn't illegal, saying: 'Well, Andrew, when you find out how much money he's making, honestly, you should think about it.'
The GB News star hit back: 'I thought about it, Ed, the answer is no!'
However, he did have a proposition for Ed, joking: 'Are you suggesting we do it together? Are you blushing, Ed?'
Ed was left blushing as Susanna interrupted at where the conversation was going. 'This is going in a whole different direction!' she said.
'Blimey!' Kevin added, as Susanna halted the discussion to remind them: 'We are still on air, guys!'
While Ed may be declining a stint on OnlyFans, he previously stunned Susanna with a bizarre bikini confession.
In 2023, he revealed he'd once entered a charity swimsuit contest and admitted: 'I've got to say, I looked really good.'
Susanna was then left gobsmacked when images of Ed in a mankini aired on GMB.
'Has it been censored?' she joked, before Ed quipped: 'Luckily, you're not showing the bottom half!'
'Is that an AI mock-up?' Susanna added.
As the images were shown, Ed admitted that his children had forbidden him from wearing the mankini without boxer shorts, because it was 'too revealing'.
'I'd not shaved or anything,' he confessed.
'For those who say too early… you're not wrong,' Susanna replied. "It's going to be the gift that keeps on giving!'
Earlier in the programme, Susanna was praised by viewers for the way she handled a heated interview and 'grilled' the shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Secretary of State for Justice Robert Jenrick.
He made headlines after a video went viral showing him confronting TFL users for skipping fares, writes Devonshire Live.
During the clip, a man on an escalator implies that he's carrying a knife to make Jenrick leave him alone.
The politician attempted to focus on the issue at hand, but after the clip was shared on Monday's Good Morning Britain, Susanna put to him the issue of a knife-carrying passenger.
Susanne probed him on the fact that he hadn't reported that a person was carrying a knife on the tube to police, Susanna raged: 'Somebody told you that they were carrying a knife on the London Underground and you didn't report it to the police.'

Why Lords are striking a blow for creative industries over new AI bill
Strange to say but a government with a Commons majority of 156 is somehow in danger of losing one of its more important pieces of legislation. The Data (Use and Access) Bill is commonly called the 'data bill' or ' AI bill' because it is central to the regulation of the new world of artificial intelligence; indeed, it is the first act of parliament specifically designed to deal with it. After breezing its way through the Commons, it has encountered unexpectedly stiff resistance in the House of Lords. Peers have five times rejected parts of the bill, and unless the government is prepared to compromise, the AI bill will have to be abandoned. Why is the AI bill in trouble? There are a lot of complicated parliamentary shenanigans involved, but at issue is the right of artists, creatives, authors – and, indeed, journalists – to own and make a living out of their work. Elton John, Kate Bush, Damon Albarn, Dua Lipa and Paul McCartney are just a few members of a formidable coalition of interests who want to stop AI giants 'scraping' their work, undermining their livelihoods, and potentially killing the whole sector. It's the biggest change to the law in copyright and intellectual property in generations, effectively abolishing royalties, and hasn't really been subjected to the kind of national debate that it merits. The artists, writers and musicians have found a doughty defender in Beeban Kidron, a film director (Bridget Jones) who's been leading the guerrilla warfare in the upper chamber. As a lead character, she's been compelling. What do the Lords rebels want? A relatively modest amendment to the bill that would subject AI companies to copyright rules and make them declare when and what material they are using for their own commercial purposes: a duty of transparency. Thus, copyright holders are able to see when their work has been used and by whom. How determined are the rebels? Very. In the words of Baroness Kidron: 'It is not fair, not reasonable, not just, balanced or any other such word to stand in the way of the creative industries identifying those who are taking their work or their property. It is not neutral – it is aiding and abetting what we have called in the House widespread theft. We have asked privately and repeatedly on the floor of both Houses what is the government going to do to stop the work of creatives from being stolen right now? The answer is nothing.' Why won't the government give way? It has offered concessions, but ministers maintain the new law does not weaken copyright law; creatives, who have the most to lose, beg to differ. Obviously, the government is anxious not to lose a whole piece of legislation that also covers, for example: a data preservation process supporting bereaved parents; new offences for intimate image deepfake abuse; smart data schemes such as open banking; and a framework for research into online safety. AI is also an important driver of economic growth. More than that, the government has been trying to tread a middle path between the more restrictive European approach and the American policy of laissez-faire. If Britain annoys the Americans, who lead in the sector, it might spoil the trade deal and relations more widely. Can't the government just force it through? Not easily. The deadlock between the Commons and Lords is such that either the bill gets amended to the satisfaction of both sides, or it cannot go forward for final readings and ultimately royal assent. This resistance by the Lords is exceptional and called 'double insistence', arising from the fact that the bill originated in the Lords rather than the Commons. (It must have been assumed to be less controversial.) But in the end, the government could get its way by invoking the Parliament Act, which trumps anything. The new law would be delayed, but the rebels might lose their cause by refusing to compromise. What is likely to happen? A compromise – but with further Lords reform in the way, the rebel peers may feel they have nothing to lose. By delaying the bill, they would force ministers to think again and allow the campaign by Elton John and his formidable creative forces to regroup and build more momentum – the issue still lacks much salience with the public. Either way, it has been tough on the personable Peter Kyle, secretary of state for science, innovation and technology.

Lesley Garrett cast in Northern Ireland Opera's Follies after cancer surgery
Classical singer Lesley Garrett has joined the Northern Ireland Opera's revival of Follies, after her cancer surgery. Garrett will play Heidi Schiller in Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman's musical about a group of former showgirls, at the Grand Opera House in Belfast in the autumn, The British soprano said on ITV's This Morning earlier this month that she had cancer surgery after being diagnosed with thymoma, a rare cancer of the thymus gland, which could have affected her singing. Since the surgery to remove the tumour, she has made a successful recovery and will now be joining the Follies cast. Garrett said: 'I'm so excited to be coming back to Belfast and especially to be making my debut with Northern Ireland Opera at the age of 70. 'Sondheim's Follies is a masterpiece and I'm delighted to have been given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform the iconic role of Heidi Schiller.' The production marks the singer's 45th anniversary in the industry and her debut with the Northern Ireland Opera, where she will play the 'opera diva' of the Weismann's Follies. Set in 1971, the musical follows the group as they return to their former Broadway stage at Weisman Theatre, for a final reunion show before its scheduled demolition. Jazz singer Jacqueline Dankworth, who was in the original cast of the West End debut for Sondheim's Into The Woods in 1990, will join the cast as Carlotta Campion. West End stars Anna-Jane Casey and Annette McLaughlin will play former room mates Sally Plummer and Phyllis Stone. The production is directed by Cameron Menzies, with Greg Arrowsmith as the musical director. The musical scored seven Tony awards at the 1972 ceremony and is best known for its songs Broadway Baby, I'm Still Here and Losing My Mind. Follies will run from September 13-20.
