Good Morning Britain viewers were baffled as Susanna Reid interviewed ex-boyfriend Steve Parish, over the Super League drama.

The football world was thrown into chaos this week when six English clubs – Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur – announced controversial plans to form a European Super League.

Following intense backlash from fans, footballers and the government, the scheme collapsed, with all six teams pulling out.

Appearing on today’s instalment of GMB, Crystal Palace chairman Steve had his say on the drama, and praised those who helped overturn the decision.

‘The fans really fought for the right to lose yesterday,’ he enthused. ‘They said that they don’t want victory without the jeopardy and the risk of losing, that it’s meaningless to them and they don’t want to be part of a gilded elite with no relegation and no promotion. 

‘So absolutely the fans, the players, the managers that came out against it, all of them must deserve high praise.

‘We have to remember that these things were dreamed up by people, not by football clubs. 

‘What we’ve got to do now is try and start a healing process and find a way forward.’

The brief chat was focused solely on the latest football update, but fans watching on from home couldn’t help but mention their previous relationship.

Discussing the scenes on Twitter, one asked: ‘Didn’t Susanna use to date Steve Parish.  #GMB.’

‘Awkward isn’t that Susanna‘s boyfriend or ex-boyfriend #GMB,’ another said.

A follower queried: ‘Are Susanna and Steve Parish still together? Weird interview if so… #gmb.’

As a Twitter user added: ‘Awkward #SusannaSteve #GMB.’

Susanna and Steve first started dating in 2018, but briefly split a few months later.

The ITV host has always made sure to keep her love life firmly behind closed doors, and only broached the topic of their break-up after former co-star Piers Morgan discussed it on Good Morning Britain.

‘Let’s not dwell. I’m fine, we’re fine, we were at the match on Saturday,’ she said at the time.

‘These things happen right, we remain friends. Very good friends.’

The pair have clearly remained close, and were seen looking cosy after a dinner last year.

Good Morning Britain continues on weekdays, at 6am, on ITV.
