GOOD MORNING BRITAIN viewers may never look at Ben Shephard in the same way again after Susanna Reid called the burly presenter out for wearing make-up and heels on today's show.

A petition set up by receptionist Nicola Thorp, demanding women should have a choice when it comes to their footwear in the workplace, has now reached over 70,000 signatures and looks set to be raised in Parliament after a temp agency fired the aspiring actress for wearing flat shoes to work.
As the debate rages on, Ben had an admission to make during today's edition of the early morning talk show.
"You do wear makeup," shrieked Susanna. "Don't you? A little bit of definition."
Ben, 41, sighed: "It helps with the bags."

The macho presenter then stressed: "I haven't put the heels on just yet," although Susanna, 45, begged to differ. The mischievous brunette whipped out a pair of pink heels, which she teased belonged to her squirming co-host.
He replied: "They're for after the programme - some downtime."
The revelation came after Susanna teased Ben for his ginger tinged locks, before the father-of-two hinted she'd seen his naked, hairless body.

Susanna teased: "Seeing you in this light, there's an Eddie Redmayne redness in your hair."
After Ben let viewers know that she was sorely mistaken, Susanna hit back: "When you grow a beard it's got a bit of ginger."
But to Susanna's surprise, Ben replied: "As you know I'm not particularly hair suit."
Astonished, Susanna shrieked: "How would I know that?"
