Susanna Reid apologizes after war reporter swears live on Good Morning Britain

Susanna's Apology

Susanna Reid was forced to issue a stark apology after a war reporter swore live on Good Morning Britain. Just over an hour into Monday’s ITV daytime series, she called out the "offensive gesture" made by journalist John Sweeney during a discussion about the conflict in Ukraine.

The Incident

During the live video link interview with John Sweeney, who was reporting from Kyiv, discussions included Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky's offer to resign in exchange for a peace deal amid the country's war with Russia. The conversation took a turn when Sweeney mentioned a Ukrainian soldier's reaction to Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's peace talks, leading to the offensive gesture.

Public Reaction

Viewers were left divided over Susanna's response to the incident, with some praising her for addressing the issue on live television while others found the reaction to be excessive. Social media buzzed with comments ranging from support for Sweeney's emotional response to criticism for the inappropriate gesture made on air.
