Susanna Reid was not pleased when Nigel Farage took home an award for TV presenting, beating her out for the top spot. The two were both nominated for the honor at the annual Television and Radio Industries Club awards, alongside other notable presenters like Matt Chorley and Eamonn Holmes.
The ceremony, held in London on Tuesday, saw Farage emerge as the winner in the presenting category. Susanna seemed to question the decision when she reposted a tweet about his win and added the caption, “Congratulations go to…..@Nigel_Farage.” This sparked some interest among her followers, with one even commenting that they “love a bit of drama.”
Addressing the frosty reception he received while collecting his award, Farage joked, “It’s a bit like a wrestling event, isn’t it?” He then went on to thank the viewers of his show on GB News, declaring that their success at the awards showed the network was “here to stay as a mainstream broadcaster.” He also gave a shoutout to his former TV company and even mentioned his time on the popular show I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
Susanna has interviewed Farage multiple times in the past, and he is currently standing for his eighth attempt to become a British MP with his political party, Reform UK. His inclusion on I’m A Celebrity last year caused quite a stir, especially after reports that he was paid a whopping £1.5 million by ITV to participate. However, his role as a news presenter on GB News earned him the Tric award for best news presenter last year, although he was also booed at the ceremony.
Recently, Farage faced a tough grilling from Susanna and her Good Morning Britain co-host Ed Balls about his party’s tax plans. Despite his attempts to defend them, leading economists debunked the figures and warned that the plans would have negative consequences for public services. Viewers were impressed with the tough questions from the hosts, with some even calling Farage’s responses “embarrassing” and labeling the interview a “train-crash.”
The Agency has reached out to Farage’s representatives for comment. In the meantime, fans can catch Susanna and Ed on Good Morning Britain, which airs weekdays at 6am on ITV1.
