Susanna Reid says she looks a “fright” before appearing on Good Morning Britain.
The TV host, 46, attracts headlines for her polished appearance alongside Piers Morgan, 52, on the ITV show.
But she told The Sun on Sunday: “Without make-up it’s a different story.
“Because when I wake-up I look a fright.”
She added: “We go on air looking like this because we want to look professional and we want to look as good as we possibly can because that’s part of the magic of television…
“Without false eyelashes, make-up and hairstyling, it’s a different story.”
She said of Morgan: “He spends a few moments in the make-up chair as well. He has his hair styled and regularly trimmed.” She added of her co-host: “He’d literally have a row with his own shoes. He’s just an outrage machine.”
