Piers Morgan thinks he’s largely responsible for Susanna Reid’s new romance.
The outspoken TV star – who presents Good Morning Britain alongside Susanna – believes he played a crucial role in helping the 48-year-old presenter to find love with Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.

Piers, 53 – who is married to journalist Celia Walden – told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Since Susanna became the First Lady of Crystal Palace, we haven’t actually done the whole couples thing.
“The trouble is they don’t drink, the pair of them, so ‘Do you want to come out for some water and kale?’ isn’t really the best invite, is it? There’s been no double-dating since she gave up alcohol.”
Piers also joked that US President Donald Trump has played a crucial role in Susanna’s romance.
The presenter – who made his debut on Good Morning Britain in 2015 – said: “I’ve been the gooseberry with them before. And I was responsible, along with Donald Trump, for them getting together. ”
However, Susanna was quick to dismiss Piers’ claims.
She said she and Steve had “been friends for years”, but Piers “likes to claim credit for everything”.
In November last year, Susanna admitted she was ready to find romance again following her split from ex Dominic Cotton, with whom she shares sons Jack, Sam and Finn with.
They split in 2014 and Susanna hasn’t had a relationship since – choosing to focus on her career and on raising her three boys.

But she’s ready to get back in the game now that her children are teenagers, telling You Magazine: “This is the right time of my life to explore that now. I’ve spent a significant amount of time since the split focused on the children and on work.”
She added: “My children are all teenagers now – they’re much more independent. They do things after school, they’ve got loads of friends, so I think they encouraged me to think about developing that side of my life a little bit more.”
