'If I don't smile it would look rude': Susanna Reid INSISTS she does not flirt with male stars during interviews on Good Morning Britain
She’s had the pleasure of chatting to the likes of David Beckham, Jeremy Renner, Alex Turner and Tom Cruise, and has often garnered attention for her light-hearted and cheeky interview style.
But news anchor Susanna Reid has insisted she does not flirt with male guests on Good Morning Britain, confessing she does not want to come across as ‘rude and stonewalling’.
The 44-year-old presenter told Daily Mirror newspaper: ‘Any interviewer's mission is to get the best from a guest. I enjoy the interviews I do and it would be bizarre, wouldn't it, if I didn't laugh at a guest's joke, or didn't smile?'

'If I don't smile it would look rude': Susanna Reid has insisted she does not flirt with male guests on Good Morning Britain
‘I would just look rude,’ she added. ‘So I'd rather look like I'm comfortable, and enjoying myself than rude and stonewalling.’
The mother-of-three, who split from partner of 16 years Dominic Cotton last year, added she does not get ‘star-struck’ and that some of her exchanges had been reported in a ‘mischievous way’.
In her most recent interview with Renner on Tuesday, the Avenger star said he would need to be in ‘better shape’ to take part in Soccer Aid.

Susanna then told the actor, 'You look in pretty good shape by the way … you look in great shape.'
Explaining her comment, she said to co-host Ben Shepherd: 'I thought that was an invitation for you to say that but as you didn't, I thought I better.'
'Well I think it's probably better coming from you,' Ben explained.
As Renner giggled, she went on: ‘You look in great shape ... and now you've landed me in it. I always get into trouble for that kind of thing.’
Viewers often comment on how Susanna becomes more relaxed when she interviews handsome men, playing with her hair, nibbling her pen and giggling at their answers.
She previously raised eyebrows when Luke Evans nuzzled into her neck as he promoted his film Dracula: Untold.

She caused a storm during an unfortunate interview with Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens in September, when she unintentionally made an embarrassing double entendre.
The interviewer asked him if he had to 'beat off a lot of American men' for his latest part in a Hollywood film - not realising that the innocent question could be misinterpreted.
When she spoke to football star David earlier this year, Ms Reid smiled and laughed through the interview as she asked him about his relationship with his children.
Susanna also delighted viewers in an interview with Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner, 15 years her junior, when the pair appeared to get on like a house on fire.
Ms Reid asked: 'When I said I was interviewing you, people did say, 'Would he do Strictly?', because they bet that you look good on the dance floor.'
The musician replied: 'Of course... I should have been the one that said you look good on the dance floor.'
