GMB host Susanna Reid appears “lighter” and more “relaxed” alongside Bill Turnbull, a body language expert has exclusively told Entertainment Daily.
The former BBC Breakfast co-presenters reunited on the ITV programme on Monday (May 24).
Following the show, body language analyst Adrianne Carter shared her thoughts on Susanna’s “upbeat” attitude since Piers Morgan‘s departure.
How did Susanna Reid appear on GMB today?
According to Adrianne, the presenter seemed confident sitting alongside Bill.
She said: “Susanna does seem a lot more relaxed and chipper and more upbeat than she was on occasions with Piers.
“Piers seemed to make Susanna be much more on guard on occasions almost as if she feared what would come next. With Bill, she seems more relaxed and happier to go with the flow.”

Furthermore, Adrianne explained: “Her tone of voice is bouncy and vivacious and it’s obvious she’s enjoying being alongside Bill. Her whole energy seems lighter and enjoyable to watch.
“She definitely seems more relaxed almost as if she can let her guard down with Bill.
“Her body language is free-flowing and natural. Sometimes with Piers alongside, Susanna would hold her posture very stiff and defensive as if to protect herself.”

But what does Adrianne make of Susanna and Bill’s chemistry?
She added: “It’s a very relaxed and engaging dynamic, both seem to enjoy being in each others company and the banter is inflow and seems very natural. Bill does seem at ease and relaxed and very natural to be alongside Susanna.”
In addition, Adrianne went on to say the pair have a genuine “friendship”.
