In a recent appearance on Good Morning Britain, Ed Balls shared the hilarious story of how he accidentally kicked his co-host Susanna Reid in the head. The former politician, known for his witty sense of humor, joked that he was "scarred" and had to "lie down" after the incident.
During a discussion about plane etiquette, Ed's foot made contact with Susanna's head, much to the amusement of the audience. Laughing it off, Susanna responded with a witty remark about Ed's actions resembling that of a "premier league football player."
On today's show, Susanna revealed that Ed had sent her a heartfelt apology along with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. "Yesterday I failed to mention something hugely significant," she said. "You sent me the most lovely bunch of flowers and a sorry note for kicking me in the back of the head."
Ed continued to joke about the incident, saying "Yeah because I kicked you in the head, which is not a normal thing to say." He went on to explain that he was "amazed" he was able to lift his leg over the seat, which resulted in the accidental kick.
Susanna added, "It's not a normal thing. There's the video evidence. I was told I needed a VAR replay because I clearly hadn't been hit, just like anyone who thinks I wasn't hit, come and sit in the same seat and allow him to do the same thing to them and then you can tell me." She then playfully teased Ed about his hard shoes, to which he jokingly replied that he had to "lie down" after the incident.
But the accident didn't stop Susanna from carrying on with the show. As they were discussing the dangers of putting your feet up on plane seats, Susanna and Ed demonstrated the scenario by sitting in plane seats on set. However, as she took her seat, Ed's foot accidentally hit her in the head.
"I don't know if I can carry on doing the show," Susanna joked, half-seriously. But later on, she brushed off the incident and joked about it with co-host Ben Shephard.
After the show, Susanna received numerous messages claiming she was being "dramatic" about the incident. But she didn't let that bother her, joking that she should have been a "premier league footballer" with her reaction.
Despite the playful banter, Susanna did admit that her vision went blurry for about 20 minutes after being kicked, but reassured everyone that there was no lasting damage.
