Piers Morgan reveals his birthday gift from Susanna Reid
Piers, 51, is set to be celebrating his birthday tomorrow and ahead of the big day, Susanna, 46, presented him with a card which read: “I’m so glad Twitter reminded me it’s your birthday.”
Along with the card, she had got him a book titled Ego Is The Enemy by Ryan Holiday and some wine for the former Britain’s Got Talent judge.
He explained to viewers: “Susanna very touchingly gave me two bottles of wine. She knows nothing about wine and miraculously they were quite good vintages.
“Also, she gave me this touching book. It says on the back: ‘Ego Is The Enemy of ambition, success, resilience.’ Well, I think that I am living testment to the fact that that’s complete nonsense.”
The Good Morning Britain broadcaster continued: “And she gave me a card. Inside, very touchingly she wrote: ‘Happy birthday, Piers. Of all my TV husbands, you are the most irritating, annoying, divisive, over-opinionated, ready to start a fight with an empty room, Arsenal-obsessed, fun at a night out, groucho’.
He then quipped: “I wouldn’t disagree with any of that!” as Susanna could only laugh at her cheeky message.

The message comes as Susanna hit out at Piers on Good Morning Britain today after he made questionable comments about so-called Legsit, comparing British Prime Minister Theresa May and Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s legs on the front page of a newspaper.
She was heard putting him in his place as she said: “Woman are constantly judged on their appearance. When the UK is negotiating the future of Scotland and the two most powerful women in the UK are then judged and whose legs are better, it trivialises the whole matter.”
He also tried to suggest that Canadian prime minster Justin Trudeau was constantly objectified, leading Susanna to say that he was the “one exception”.
Their heated exchange comes a day after Susanna called for Piers’ arrest after he made a shock confession on the ITV breakfast programme.
She was heard yelling: “Call the police!” after he admitted to picking flowers with his daughter despite seconds earlier slamming people for doing so.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am.
