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!"

Susanna Reid praised by GMB viewers as she 'tears' MP apart live on air
Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid has been praised by viewers after she "tore into" Robert Jenrick during a heated interview on Monday's show. Susanna Reid has been praised by viewers for her fierce grilling of Robert Jenrick during a fiery interview. The shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Secretary of State for Justice made headlines after footage of him challenging TFL commuters over fare evasion went viral. In one tense moment captured on film, a man on an escalator hinted he was armed with a blade to deter Jenrick from questioning him further. Despite the politician's efforts to steer the conversation back to fare evasion during Monday's Good Morning Britain, Susanna zeroed in on the alarming revelation of a knife-carrying passenger. She interrogated him about his failure to alert the police after being informed that someone had a knife on the underground, expressing her outrage: "Somebody told you that they were carrying a knife on the London Underground and you didn't report it to the police." Her concern escalated as she added: "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 defended his decision not to contact the authorities, insisting: "It's not about me." However, Susanna wasn't having any of it, sharply criticising him by saying, "I don't want to be disrespectful to you, you made it all about you." She concluded with a pointed remark about the video: "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." Her approach received widespread acclaim from viewers, with one individual remarking: "Brilliant watching him get torn apart." Another hailed Susanna as "brilliant", while another commented: "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 penned. "Jenrick was owned and humiliated," another added. Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1.
