GMB's Susanna Reid compared to Love Island's Jacques as Ben Shephard makes savage dig

Susanna Reid was compared to Love Island's Jacques O'Neill by her Good Morning Britain co-host.

The ITV breakfast show presenter and her co-stars were discussing the latest drama on Love Island and she was less than impressed with the rugby player's comment, as things got tense in the villa last night as the Casa Amor recoupling loomed.

As part of the Casa Amor twist, the original Islanders will now be tasked with choosing whether to stick to their original partner or switch to someone else they've met - and it could leave multiple people at risk.

During last night's show, Jacques expressed his need to play the field to see if Paige Thorne was what he really wanted.

But Susanna took issue with his comment, scoffing at his suggestion he needed that to see if he really liked Paige.

Showing a clip from the show, Jacques said: "How do I know if what I've got with Paige is so good if I don't give a chance with someone else," leaving Luca Bish wide-eyed.

"I need to crack on," he said, as he made a beeline to one of the newbies, as he told her: "I woke up this morning and thought, how do I know what I've got is real if I'm just going to close myself off."

Later, he was seen chatting to another girl as he said: "I change my mind every five minutes."

As it switched back to the studio, entertainment presenter Radzi Chinyanganya - who is standing in for Richard Arnold - dubbed it "unbelievable" as he said Susanna's face "was a picture".

Ben Shepherd jokingly defended Jacques, adding that it was good to play the field: "It's important you gather all the information you possibly can before you make your decision. You can't rush these things Susanna."

"'How do I know you're the right person for me if I haven't tried out all the other people?'" Susanna said, mimicking Jacques' comments.

Ben then went on to compare her to Jacques with the show's presenting line up switch up.

He joked: "Well you've been trying out different men for weeks on this show so don't pretend you're no different from Jacques," as Susanna huffed at him and quickly turned the conversation back to Love Island.

Susanna has been presenting alongside a group of male co-presenters including the likes of Martin Lewis, Richard Madeley, Ed Balls after Piers Morgan dramatically quit the show in a row with Alex Beresford.
