Piers Morgan complains of 'BRUISING' at the hands of Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain
IT SEEMS Susanna Reid's constant nudging of Piers Morgan is starting to leave a physical mark.
Piers complains of BRUISED arm where Susanna nudges him
The 51-year-old broadcaster jovially complained of "actual bruising" on his arm on Good Morning Britain today, as a result of the co-host beside him.
As they came back from a competition VT this morning, Piers moaned: "I've got actual bruising on my elbow from where every time we come back from a break Susanna goes 'Piers, come on!'"
"Get off your phone!" Susanna said, laughing.
"'Get off your Tweeter'," Piers added.

It seems Susanna has been elbowing her co-host to get him to pay attention!

The pair returned to the air this week after a seven-week break, and Piers was quick to boast on Twitter when ratings seemingly spiked on Monday morning.
"Strong surge in ratings for our comeback yesterday. Thanks for watching! @GMB @susannareid100," he wrote.
His remarks line up with what Kevin Lygo, ITV controller, said about the once-struggling programme at the Edinburgh TV Festival last month.
"It's just really hard to expect to get the audiences we did 15 years ago," he admitted.

"So honestly there was a time when Good Morning Britain was a real issue, and the whole building was like 'oh my God, what are we going to do' - but that's not the case now.
"It's a good show. It's not the butt of people's jokes. It's a good show if you watch it."
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
