GMB's Susanna Reid forced to issue apology after Noel Edmonds swears live on air

Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid was forced to issue an apology after an interview with Noel Edmonds descended into chaos. The 75-year-old broadcaster appeared on the ITV show today to discuss his life in New Zealand.

In the interview, Edmonds revealed that he owns an English pub called the B***er Inn. GMB presenter Reid hastily told Edmonds to 'steady' himself - but the former Deal of No Deal frontman insisted his language was 'acceptable' and went on to repeat the term several times.

Reid then addressed viewers saying: "I’ll have to apologise for that just in case there are families that don’t think so." There were more antics to come later in the programme after Mr Blobby appeared as a special guest.

The pink and yellow character was reunited with Edmonds having featured on his former variety show Noel’s House Party. The show - which saw Blobby and Noel as a double presenting duo - began in 1991 and ran for 169 episodes before it concluded in 1999.

As Mr Blobby hugged Edmonds, he said he had a 'funny feeling' the character would make an appearance. Talking about Mr Blobby he said: 'He calls me most days. Hes not the most entertaining conversation! I feel sorry for him."

Out of the blue, Edmonds added: "The only thing that could be said about this, he makes Ed look slim", leaving the former politician open-mouthed at the insult as producers quickly cut to an advert break.

Viewers were left outraged at Noel Edmonds' GMB antics. Becca Madon said: ‘Noel Edmonds so rude. Absolutely no need to say that to Ed.’ Others remarked that Noel seemed like ‘hard work’ in the interview, and one viewer said: ‘Please make Noel Edmonds stop.’
