Susanna Reid made an apology on Good Morning Britain today (Tuesday November 9) after accidentally making an ‘insensitive’ remark.
The host was interviewing a lesbian couple about NHS fertility treatment when she dropped her clanger.
When asking them about their hopes for the future she said: “Who wants to be mum?”
The couple, Megan, 34, and 33-year-old Whitney Bacon-Evans, looked momentarily taken aback before Megan replied: “Well we both want to be mum.”
