Good Morning Britain viewers have slammed Susanna Reid for ‘constantly interrupting’ guests on the ITV show.
The popular programme returned on Tuesday (November 19) with Susanna and Richard Madeley discussing all the latest headlines.
Topics included news that domestic energy prices are expected to hike up again next year and British farmers staging a mass rally against the Labour government’s budget at Westminster Abbey.
This was discussed by journalists Kevin Maguire and Andrew Pierce.
As the show went on, the presenters were joined by fifth generation farmer Rebecca Wilson and former Labour minister Bill Rammell – who claimed only the wealthiest of landowners will be affected by the new inheritance tax bill.
However, it was Susanna who infuriated the viewers as they took to X, formerly Twitter, the complain about how she handled both interviews.

One user said: ‘Susanna REID repeatedly interrupted Kevin Maguire in the middle of the point he was trying to make. Play it back and you’ll see he wasn’t allowed to make his point even once without being talked down/drowned out.’
Another fumed: ‘Susanna Reid and her Tory colleagues ganging up against the Mirror lad again.’
A third added: ‘Reid and Madeley constantly interrupting [and NOT LISTENING!!!] to Bill Rammell. Three against one AGAIN!’
A fourth penned: ‘Why is the arrogant, indignant S Reid behaving like a farmer’s daughter!!!? Her body language is biased and subjective. WHY?’
It’s not the first time that viewers have accused the programme of speaking over guests, with Ed Balls and Kate Garraway facing the same complaints just last month.
The two presenters took the reigns of the ITV show in October to probe Conservative leadership candidate Robert Jenrick.
But as they challenged the MP over the failed Rwanda plan, fans at home complained that they were talking over him too much.
While others continued to voice their disapproval of Ed, 57, helming political interviews, as a former MP and the husband of current Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

However, it was Susanna who rubbed the viewers up the wrong way as they took to X, formerly Twitter, the complain about how she handled both interviews
Taking to social media to vent their anger, they wrote: ‘Seriously what is @GMB is a current News show. Just think all the presenters are unprofessional they aren’t neutral when reporting stories.’
See Ed Balls is stopping @RobertJenrick from giving his answers without speaking over him constantly. He could’ve even get his point across. Surprise surprise’.
‘It might have been a decent conversation if you let people speak and finish their reply; She won’t let him get a word in edge ways!!!’
‘I’m afraid @GMB is not fit for purpose. How can they discuss the position of Yvette Cooper with balance and impartiality…..when her husband is a presenter?’
‘Why are GMB presenters all so annoying? They all just waste entire interviews by butting in constantly and repeating themselves. By the time the interview is done no questions have been answered and the viewers are just exhausted. Someone teach them how conversations work’.
‘@edballs if you want to interview people learn to give them the grace to answer instead of constantly butting in and talking over them.’

‘It would be nice if the presenters would shut up for one second and allow guests to speak instead of talking over them when they don’t like the answer!!!’
‘With due respect could Ed Balls please let guests speak; Sorry but hubby of Home Sec should not be discussing this #gmb’.
‘#gmb awful, these 2 presenters trying to get the most airtime, constantly talking over each other and the guests..’
‘I do think Jenrick was cynically trying to manipulate public opinion in that interview by denying any legal considerations. (That said, I don’t think Ed Balls & Kate Garraway are an appropriate interviewing team given both have strong political links.)’
While others praised Kate, 57, and Ed for not allowing the politician to avoid their probing questions, with one saying: ‘Jenrick tied up in knots. Excellent interviewing from @edballs and #GMB’.
