Susanna Reid put her foot in her mouth spectacularly yesterday while interviewing actor Dan Stevens.

The presenter gave Stevens a fit of the giggles during his appearance on ITV’s Good Morning Britain yesterday (September 4) when she asked the actor whether he had to “beat off” a lot of American men for his part in new movie The Guest.

“You play this apparent all-American hero and this is a big opportunity for you in Hollywood,” Reid said. “You must have had to beat off a lot of American men to get this part?”

Both Stevens and the show’s crew then began to laugh, before Reid asked: “Why does that make you giggle? Did you not have to beat them off?”

Stevens poked fun at Reid’s unintentional innuendo on Twitter shortly after his appearance on the show – see his tweet below.
