Now Susanna Reid has used her famed interview style on one of the world's biggest heartthrobs - and had David Beckham giggling like a school boy live on national TV.

Wearing a red dress and slick of rouge on her lips, the presenter, whose interview technique has previously been described as 'less a Paxman-style interrogation and more 50 Shades of flirting' by a body language expert, had the former football ace in hysterics on the ITV show.

Susanna Reid has used her famed flirty interview style on one of the world's biggest heartthrobs - and had David Beckham giggling like a school boy live on national TV as she chatted to him about family and football

Giggling after the segment, she told co-presenter Kate Garraway she now considers the father-of-four a 'friend'.

The footballer-turned-model was being interviewed by Reid about his new role in a short film for motorcycle clothing brand Belstaff when she commented on the heat from the studio lights.

'It's blinking hot under these lights, isn't it?', said Reid as she fanned herself.

Beckham replied: 'It's very hot. I'm surprised, you've got an amazing dress on and I'm in a T-shirt.'

'I should have worn the T-shirt,' Reid replied.

As they returned to the studio, Garraway seemed envious of the exchange. 'What? The room was hot? You've got an amazing dress? Hang on a minute,' she said.

Reid said that she had met Beckham before and 'considers him a friend now', before explaining her fashion choice.

'His wife is obviously doing these amazing dresses all the time, I thought I better wear something befitting the occasion when you're interviewing a fashion icon,' Reid said.

Garraway replied incredulously: 'You were nothing but professional but I'm weirdly still bitter.'

The global star seemed relaxed in her company as he spoke about his retirement from football and dropped in a mention of his wife, saying: 'It's not a massive gap to fill, I don't feel like that. 

'People have said, 'have you struggled since finishing playing? And how have you felt? And have you been depressed?' and obviously I've got four kids to keep me busy.

'I've got a wife that is obviously very busy in what she does and she's obviously not spent as much time as she'd like to spend with me over the last 18 years while we've been together, so actually it's not been a challenge stopping playing because by the time I stopped, I was 38 years old and I knew it was time.'  

Reid continued with the personal questions, even asking the father-of-four if he and Victoria were keen to extend the Beckham clan even more

In a recent interview, wife Victoria joked about feeling a 'dagger in the heart' when their daughter Harper announced she wanted to be a footballer. 

Speaking about this, David said: 'It was the best thing I'd ever heard I think. Obviously I've bought her football kits over the years as well and as soon as she comes down [wearing the football kits] and says, 'Mummy look' you can imagine it's the same kind of reaction that she got when [Victoria] heard that she wanted to be a footballer. 

'We were outside playing football the other day and she had a really pretty dress on and then a pair of pink football boots, which I then sent Victoria the video, so again I think that was also a dagger in her heart but I love it, I love it!'

'Victoria is like, 'please, we've got four children, three of them are boys and all love football. Please just let me have one that kind of wants to dress like me or wear high heels' and actually Harper is amazing, she runs in the high heels so she's definitely got that from Victoria.' 

Reid continued with the personal questions, even asking the father-of-four if he and Victoria were keen to extend the Beckham clan even more.

To this, David said: 'We always wanted a big family and we've obviously got four beautiful and healthy children so we feel very blessed to have that so yes we're happy to have that.'

Becks also spoke about appearing in the recent Outlaws film and said he wasn't looking to become a star of the big screen: 'It's not something that I'm going to look into but this was a lot of fun to be honest,' he said.

During the interview, the world's most famous number seven ruled himself out of being the next 007.

When Reid mentioned that his name had been floating around as a possibility for the next James Bond, he responded: 'No, I have definitely not been contacted, I am definitely not - obviously - up for doing something like that, but it is nice to be linked, I suppose.'

When the footballer then tried to imitate Roger Moore's distinctive eyebrow action, she gushed: 'It is like being in the room with him.' 

Social media users took to Twitter to express their jealously of Reid's interview. Michelle Loughran posted: 'David Beckham just told Susanna Reid she had a nice dress on.... One hell of a perk to the daybreak job!'

But one user accused her of flirting with the former footballer. 'You're a terrible flirt #itshotinhere #Ishouldhavewornatshirt,' he tweeted.

Discussing Sussana's interview technique, Dr Becky Spelman of the Private Therapy Clinic said: 'Flirtatiousness is not always sexual in nature, and is often used by people either consciously or subconsciously as nothing more than putting the other person at ease.

'An interviewer’s job can be difficult if instant rapport isn’t created, and here we see Susannah establish good verbal and non verbal communication by matching David’s posture and gestures, whilst accentuating key feminine signs of warmth and engagement. 

'This ensures she creates an intimate conversation, which allows David to both relax and open up about his family. 

'David, for his part, again offers a willingness to ensure the communication is as positive and enjoyable for both parties and the watching audience, but maintains his own postural identity, giving him a strong masculinity throughout, which is likely to help him feel confident enough to deliver his messages.' 

Deon Newbronner, a body language expert and Managing Director of Pitch Perfect Club, added: 'By leaning back in her chair like she does, Susanna says "we are just having a chat, it’s not an interview".

'This simple technique, when deployed in the right circumstance, can have a profound effect on the interviewee. Helping them to come across naturally, reinforcing that it’s just a conversation, not an interview.'

This isn't Reid's only flirty interview. In March this year, the Prime Minister was treated to a cosy armchair interview, as well as a chat in his own back garden, as the presenter asked questions about his family in the run up to the general election.

The Good Morning Britain host, notorious for flirting with her interview subjects, was wearing a light blue dress as she questioned Mr Cameron in the comfort of a Number 10 drawing room.

Her interview style was described as 'less a Paxman-style interrogation and more 50 Shades flirting' by a body language expert, who added: 'If I were Sam Cam I would have been rushing in with a fire extinguisher.'

The questions focussed on the Prime Minister's personal life, with little mention of policy despite the fact that voters had just seven weeks to make up their minds ahead of the election.

During the brief interview broadcast on ITV, Ms Reid asked 14 questions, 11 of which were about Mr Cameron's family, with two on the possibility of a future coalition and one on the proposed election TV debates.

The segment started off with an amble through the rose garden at 10 Downing Street, before the pair settled into armchairs in one of the house's drawing rooms, with mugs of tea on the table beside them.

Body language expert Judi James described the presenter as 'outrageously flirty', pointing to the way she put her thumb in her mouth and crossed her legs during the interview.

'There's the distracting leg display, the modest cut-off gesture with the arm but then the fist to chin gesture that evolves into a thumb in the mouth,' she told MailOnline at the time.

'Her smile looks excited and her head dips coyly. If I were Sam Cam I would have been rushing in with a fire extinguisher.'

A spokesman for Good Morning Britain insisted that the Prime Minister was questioned on a wide variety of topics, adding at the time: 'Today's interview with David Cameron is one of a series of interviews with the main party leaders ahead of the General Election.

'They aim to give viewers a personal insight into the individual behind the politician, taking place in locations that are significant to them.'

Susanna is known for flirting with guests on Good Morning Britain - even if most of them have not been as high-powered as David Cameron.

Viewers often comment on how the veteran presenter becomes more relaxed when she interviews handsome men, playing with her hair and giggling at their answers.

When she spoke to David Beckham on the ITV show last month, Ms Reid smiled and laughed through the interview as she asked him about his relationship with his children. 

A few months ago, she told actor Luke Evans she was 'a bit scared' of him, then proceeded to let him pretend to bite her neck in homage to his film role as Vlad the Impaler.

After the bizarre TV moment, Ms Reid quipped, 'That was quite nice, actually,' before the pair dissolved into fits of laughter.

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.

After Mr Stevens started laughing, Ms Reid added: 'Why does that make you giggle? Did you not have to beat them off?'.

A year earlier, she 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.' 

THE TOP SIX TIMES MS REID HAS RAISED THE TEMPERATURE IN THE STUDIO

Susanna Reid's sizzling interview with David Beckham is the latest in a history of flirty moments with male guests (and butterscotch pudding) for the morning TV presenter. 

David Cameron

Reid got the giggles when she sat down with the Prime Minister for an interview at his home in March. While asking questions about parents' evenings and family life in Number 10, she nibbled the end of her pen and laughed, while displaying her legs in a short blue dress.

Luke Evans

Reid's flirty encounter with Dracula Untold star Luke Evans in October last year ended with the actor nibbling her neck.

Reid asked Evans, 'What is it like when you go in for the big bite?' and suggested: 'Shall we do it?'

Luckily Evans was game and flashed, 'You've got to show me your neck first, though,' before jokingly nuzzling in. 'That was quite nice, actually,' Reid finished.

Jeremy Renner

Reid left Avengers star Jeremy Renner looking embarrassed when she praised his physique on the GMB sofa.

When asked about whether he'd be taking part in charity football match Soccer Aid earlier this year, Renner replied: 'I'd always be honoured to go do that but I'd have to get in better shape.' Reid quickly replied: 'You look in pretty good shape by the way. You look in great shape.'

They were left in stitches as Reid quipped of her reputation: 'Now you've landed me in it. I always get into trouble for these things.'

Alex Turner

'I bet you look good on the dance floor,' ended Reid's teasing interview with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner in 2013 while she was still working for BBC Breakfast.

The presenter, who is 15 years Turner's senior, asked him if he'd ever take a twirl on Strictly Come Dancing as she flicked her hair and giggled. Turner replied back: 'I should have been the one that said you look good on the dance floor.'

David Beckham (again)

Reid struck again when she interviewed Beckham for GMB in February this year. She hung onto the footballer's every word as he discussed his new fund to mark 10 years as a Unicef ambassador and flapped her hands to her face as he spoke lovingly of being an embarrassing dad to his four children.

Angel Delight

Twitter went into meltdown in July when Susanna Reid turned her attention to a bowl of Angel Delight dessert. Realising she had no spoon in a retro-food cooking segment, she suggestively licked the butterscotch-flavour pudding off her little finger.

'You know what, I wasn't given a spoon, but I find with Angel's Delight you can just use your finger,' she said. 'Mmmm that's good. That's sweet. That's really sweet,' she added.
