Yahoo News Ben Shephard's Susanna Reid lift on GMB goes VERY wrong
Good Morning Britain viewers were left in stitches after Ben Shephard attempted to lift Susanna Reid… and it went terribly wrong.
The presenter decided to hoist his co-host into the air live on TV earlier today (March 30), encouraged by Andi Peters.
"Andi wanted a lift, here we go, all my training from university," Ben declared at the end of the show.
Omg, @benshephard lifting @susannareid100 for @andipeters was hilarious in front of @LesDennis. 😂 pic.twitter.com/fw4fkTXovs

However, as he proceeded to pick her up, the attempt took a turn for the embarrassing as she shrieked: "Oh my goodness!"
Ben then fell back on the sofa, and Susanna with him, as he seemed to lose control of the lift almost instantly.
"I think I've put my back out!" Ben stated when everyone collapsed into fits of laughter – looks like a trip to the gym is definitely in order, Ben!
Les Dennis, who was sitting on the sofa, then asked: "Is that your audition for Strictly?"
Viewers on Twitter were also laughing at the fail:

@ITV_DaytimeUK @LesDennis @benshephard @susannareid100 @andipeters You can see why Ben presents Tipping Point. He nearly reached it.

We are sure the whole thing was a bit of a relief for Susanna, who along with co-host Piers Morgan had to put up with a very tense exchange between Nigel Farage and Alastair Campbell earlier this week.
"At one point I thought @gmb bouncers were going to have to make an appearance this morning for Farage v Campbell," she tweeted afterwards.
