'Fuming' Susanna Reid confronted bosses over string of 'stupid' blunders on set
Susanna Reid was reportedly left fuming on the Good Morning Britain set after a number of gaffes "made the show look stupid".
The presenter, 52, is thought to have confronted senior executives after their errors led to a number of on-screen errors.
She is said to have been furious at a number of issues on the show, including several spelling issues, such as the word "remembering" being spelt incorrectly during a story about a death.
Other instances include the wrong date being shown on screen and also the name of a news correspondent appearing incorrect on a report about the war in Ukraine; Ben Chapman was incorrectly labelled Ben Champan.
