Susanna Reid apologises after Labour MP swears live on Good Morning Britain

Susanna steps in

Susanna Reid was forced to apologise after a leading Labour MP swore live on Good Morning Britain. The ITV anchor, 53, intervened during the slip-up on Tuesday's episode, confessing: "I don't think we can say that!"

Yvette Cooper's slip-up

It came as Yvette, 55, branded Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Rwanda plan a 'gimmick'. She is married to Susanna's GMB co-star Ed Balls, 57. The Shadow Secretary of State for the Home Department then apologised for her blunder.

Controversial legislation

During the episode, Susanna grilled the Shadow Secretary of State for the Home Department on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Rwanda plan. The controversial legislation finally passed through Parliament last night after months of hold-ups and Parliamentary ping-pongs with the House Of Lords.

Policy update

Yvette confirmed the opposition would scrap the plans if they come to power in the General Election this year. She branded the policy – dubbed 'stop the boats' – a "gimmick" and said: "The Home Secretary himself has described it as bats**t."

Presenter switch and personal life

Meanwhile, former Labour MP Ed Balls missed a face-to-face chat with wife Yvette on Tuesday. He had been replaced by show anchor Richard in a regular switch-up. Ed and Yvette wed on January 10, 1998, in Eastbourne. They were the first married couple to serve together in the British cabinet back in January 2008, after Yvette became the Chief Secretary to The Treasury.
