GMB: Susanna Reid rejects hug from Adil Ray

Good Morning Britain viewers were pleased to see Adil Ray back hosting the show with Susanna Reid today. However, ahead of his appearance, the broadcaster responded to fans who wanted to see the banter between them on the show.

Posting in view of his 82,000 Twitter followers, Adil opened up about his return to the morning news show.

He wrote last night: “Back @gmb tomorrow hope you’ll join us.

“We’ll talk holidays (or not!), hugging (or not!), guests Marco Pierre White & Mel B on her important domestic violence video and her work with Woman Aid.

“See you at 6.30 with @susannareid100 birthday girl @CharlotteHawkns from 6.”

The presenter’s followers were pleased to hear he was returning to the show after his time off.

However, several mentioned they were especially looking forward to his “banter” with Susanna over football.

One penned to him: “Looking forward to the banter about the football today between you & @susannareid100.”

Adil was quick to reply to the fan, correcting them about what to expect.

Adil was replaced by Alastair Campbell last week on the show who took over his hosting duties.

This comes after Piers Morgan’s exit back in March has left an open spot in the morning presenting team.

When Adil took his usual place at the GMB desk this morning, he faced a bit of an awkward moment.

As social distancing relaxes and hugging is now allowed, he took the opportunity to try and hug his co-star Susanna.

However, she was not keen and remained sitting, refusing the hug.

Adil said: “Let me just, come on! I haven’t seen you in such a long time!”

Susanna replied: “What did Dr Hilary say?

“I am still in the mood for a virtual hug!”
