Ben Shephard makes Susanna Reid cringe as he jokes about David Gray's 'TACKLE' on GMB
BEN SHEPHARD left Susanna Reid slightly red-faced this morning after he made a cheeky joke about David Gray's "tackle" on Good Morning Britain.
Ben Shephard suggests David Gray'S 'tackle is bigger than his'
David, 48, was discussing football with Ben, 41, and the presenter was clearly unable to stop himself from making a quick joke before the trio cut to an ad break.
Susanna explained that the pair have a lot in common because they both love football, with them taking part in Unicef's first ever Soccer Aid game back in 2006.
Talk then turned to tackle and the beauty asked if David had ever "tackled" Ben.
Susanna said: "We've got more with you after the break, including the fact you and Ben Shephard have shared a dressing room and been on the football pitch together."

There's no question, David Gray's tackle is bigger.
She went on: "Has he tackled you with one of his legendary take downs?"
David then replied: "He's a mighty player but he met his match," as an amused Ben laughed: "There's no question, David's tackle is bigger."
The latest incident comes after Ben was left in hysterics last week as he hosted This Morning with Holly Willoughby; who made an epic "willy" blunder.
The presenter's embarrassing mistake came just seconds after the pair enjoyed a throwback clip of them welly-wanging live on the ITV show this time last year.
The VT showed the 35-year-old throwing a wellington boot at the target and breaking one of the programme's props.

As the camera returned to the London studio, Ben, 41, asked: "Since that day, a year ago today, have you ever hit anything that you've been throwing at?"
Holly replied: "Funnily enough, I've never willy-wanged since then," accidentally mixing up her words.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV, while This Morning follows at 10.30am.
