'BBC Breakfast's Susanna Reid: 'Stop criticising my breasts'

'BBC Breakfast's Susanna Reid: 'Stop criticising my breasts'

BBC Breakfast presenter Susanna Reid has slammed viewers for criticising her breasts.

The 41-year-old television personality, who was accused of showing too much cleavage during a 2010 interview with Hugh Grant, said that she doesn't understand why people make such a fuss of the female form.

Reid told Radio Times: "People seem to be shocked that women have breasts. There'll be complaints about the fact that there is literally a shadow showing.

"After breastfeeding three children I'm amazed that people think I still have a cleavage worth complaining about. People are always going to talk about what women wear on TV. It's a fact of life."

Reid admitted that she doesn't make an effort with her appearance when she's not working. She said: "The rest of the time it's jeans and T-shirts. I don't dress up and don't wear make-up. When I collect the kids from school on Friday afternoon, people think a different woman has come to pick them up. They simply don't recognise me."

Reid recently took over Sian Williams's position as a main weekday presenter on BBC Breakfast.
