GMB fans praise Susanna Reid after she 'tears' guest apart in heated interview
Fans praised Susanna for the way she handled the interview.
Susanna Reid was praised by Good Morning Britain viewers for "tearing" into Robert Jenrick during a heated interview on Monday morning. The shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Secretary of State for Justice 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.
Susanna probed him on the fact that he hadn't reported that a person was carrying a knife on the tube to police, as she raged: 'Somebody told you that they were carrying a knife on the London Underground and you didn't report it to the police.'
She continued: 'I travel on the tube, my kids travel on the tube, and someone has just told you, a former shadow minister, someone who is concerned about policing and obeying the law, you're worried about fare-dodging, I'm worried about people carrying knives, and you didn't report it to the police?'
Jenrick went on to say that he 'didn't feel the need' to report the encounter to the police, claiming: 'It's not about me.'
But Susanna had some strong words in response. She fumed, 'I don't want to be disrespectful to you, you made it all about you.
'The video was literally all about you - it's you walking around tube stations, confronting people.
'So to say that you didn't report what was said to you because you're saying you didn't want to make it all about you is disingenuous.'
Susanna's approach was widely praised by viewers, with one person saying: 'Brilliant watching him get torn apart.'
Another called Susanna 'brilliant', while someone else said: 'This is why the country is in such a mess. Our "leaders" have not got a clue. Absolutely disgusting. More concerned with fair dodging then the life's of citizens!! So out of touch with reality…' (sic)
'Good on you, Susanna, holding him accountable,' a fourth wrote.
'Jenrick was owned and humiliated,' another added.
Elsewhere in the programme, Susanna had to step in and cheekily remind her colleagues that they were live on air after a conversation took an unexpected turn.
Earlier in the show, British canoeist Kurts Adams Rozentals had shared that he was raking in a six-figure income on OnlyFans, despite facing a ban from competition due to "allegations" concerning his social media activity.
While reflecting on the sportsman's lucrative switch, Ed quipped: "We are in the wrong jobs!"
GMB guest Andrew Pierce then teased: "Ed, are you putting yourself forward as a potential model on OnlyFans?"
"It's amazing on the internet what you can make money from," Ed laughed back.
Amused by the online earning opportunities, the former Strictly contestant chuckled, suggesting there might be a "niche" market for Andrew, prompting Kevin Maguire to interject with: "There'll be a fetish stream!"
Ed, highlighting that making money on OnlyFans isn't against the law, added: "Well, Andrew, when you find out how much money he's making, honestly, you should think about it."
GB News' Andrew retorted: "I thought about it, Ed, the answer is no!"
Yet, he couldn't resist teasing Ed further, joking: "Are you suggesting we do it together? Are you blushing, Ed?"
With Ed left speechless, Susanna quickly intervened as the banter escalated. "This is going in a whole different direction!" she exclaimed.
"Blimey!" Kevin echoed, before Susanna cut in to remind them with a laugh: "We are still on air, guys!"

Searches for Madeleine McCann to continue in Portugal
Searches for Madeleine McCann are to resume in Portugal, near where the little girl was last seen in 2007. On Tuesday, fresh searches for Madeleine began, as teams drained a well and cleared areas of dense vegetation near abandoned buildings in countryside a few miles from Praia da Luz. Madeleine, then aged three, vanished while on holiday with her family in the Algarve resort, after her parents went out to dinner and left her sleeping in a room with her toddler twin siblings. German investigators and Portuguese police officers and firefighters took part in the searches on Tuesday, as teams used strimmers, shovels and chainsaws to clear the undergrowth and debris around an abandoned building, and drained a well using a yellow hose. About a dozen officers focused on one abandoned building where digging was taking place, while another member of the search team cleared large rocks. The Sun reported that investigators are also planning to use radar equipment that can scan beneath the ground. It has been variously reported that teams will look where trenches were dug near the resort at the time of Madeleine's disappearance, at wells, ruins and water tanks, and that there are plans to examine 21 pieces of land. The search is being carried out at the request of the German federal police, as they look for evidence that could implicate prime suspect Christian Brueckner, who is in prison for raping a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz in 2005. He is due to be released from jail in September if no further charges are brought. In October last year, Brueckner was cleared by a German court of unrelated sexual offences, alleged to have taken place in Portugal between 2000 and 2017. About 30 German police, including forensic experts, are expected to take part in the search, with Portuguese officers, which is expected to last until Friday. The Metropolitan Police said they were aware of the operation but that British officers will not be present. German investigators and Portuguese officers last carried out searches in 2023, near the Barragem do Arade reservoir, about 30 miles from Praia da Luz. Brueckner, who spent time in the area between 2000 and 2017, had photographs and videos of himself near the reservoir. It was previously searched in 2008, when Portuguese lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia paid for specialist divers to search it, after he claimed to have been tipped off by criminal contacts that Madeleine's body was there. British police were later given permission to examine scrubland near where she vanished in 2014. Last month Madeleine's family, who are from Rothley in Leicestershire, marked the 18th anniversary of her disappearance, describing her as 'beautiful and unique', before her 22nd birthday, and vowed to continue the search. A statement from her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, and the family, said: 'The years appear to be passing even more quickly and whilst we have no significant news to share, our determination to 'leave no stone unturned' is unwavering. We will do our utmost to achieve this.'
