THERE were amusing scenes in the Good Morning Britain studio today after Susanna Reid ran away from Piers Morgan as he chased her around with a piece of mistletoe.

Earlier in the programme the pair had been joking about Piers, 50, locking lips with his former Britain’s Got Talent colleague Amanda Holden last week.
Susanna, 44, was telling viewers that the GMB team were feeling the festive spirit in the studio after it was decked to ceiling in decorations and Christmas trees.
“Now, we’re feeling very Christmassy in the studio. Although I have done a search of the entire area so there is no mistletoe anywhere, hidden behind any cushions,” she said.
“You should be so lucky!” Piers retorted to Susanna’s dig, adding: “I don’t remember offering.”

Susanna looked shocked and surprised and said: “You don’t remember? It was witnessed on national television, holding mistletoe over my head.”
The former BGT judge then tried to cover himself by sheepishly saying: “It was more about Amanda…”
“And you managed to get a lovely kiss,” Susanna quipped. But it seems that the last laugh was on her when a camera locked a sprig of mistletoe hanging up in the studio.

“Oh no! Where’s that?” she squealed, which delighted Piers who called for the mistletoe to be brought “post-haste”.
“Get rid of it!” Susanna could be heard saying, but her co-presenter told her she had mentioned it “deliberately” in a bid to get up close and personal with him.
Then as the show came to an end, Piers was seen holding the sprig above Susanna’s head as they sat on the GMB sofa.
However, she made a quick getaway to dodge a smooch with Piers.
