Subtle signs Susanna Reid doesn't like Richard Madeley, claims body language expert

Rumours of a feud between Good Morning Britain's co-hosts ever since Susanna Reid's unexplained absence alongside Richard Madeley.

And now a body language expert has suggested that there are some telltale signs from Susanna that she doesn't get on with her gaffe-prone colleague.

However, it is believed that the rumours are simply fan theories posted online.

He suggests that Susanna shows a number of "micro-expressions" while she's with Richard - revealing how she really feels about him.

Body language expert Darren Stanton said of Susanna's body language: "You’ll notice that Susanna often rolls her eyes or flashes a certain micro-expression of smugness, a one-sided smile, during her exchanges with Richard - suggesting deep down she has feelings of disdain and is often in disagreement with him."

He went on to tell The Sun on behalf of Slingo that Richard is known for speaking his thoughts.

"It’s hard to say if the pair are feuding, however, there are visible signs of tensions during their exchanges where it’s clear they can rub each other up the wrong way," he added.

Mirror have contacted reps for comment.

Towards the end of June, Richard, 66, was absent from the programme for the second day in a row.

Richard usually sits alongside Susanna Reid from Monday through to Wednesday each week, as part of a group of male co-presenters that join her on the show after Piers Morgan left.

People began thinking that the two have fallen out.

Taking to Twitter recently, one user wrote: “Beginning to look like Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid have fallen out.”

Another post directed at Adil, 48, read: “This alleged feud between Madeley and Reid is really benefiting you work wise, eh Adil?”

Feud rumours intensified earlier this year when Richard and Susanna failed to pose together at the BAFTA Television Awards.

Richard was seen arriving on the red carpet separately from the rest of the GMB team and his ITV co-star Susanna.

He said: “Since Piers left, as you know, his chair has been a kind of rotating gig and all sorts of presenters have come in and done it.

“It is true that of late I’ve kind of risen to the top of that pile I suppose. But I don’t know for how long as I’m on quite a short contract.”
