It was recently revealed that she'd rejected a role on Love Actually 2 because a small part of the script poked fun at her Good Morning Britain co-host Piers Morgan.

But Susanna Reid had no problems taking playful jabs at the 52-year-old herself, when she made a round of promotional appearances on ITV on Tuesday morning.

Appearing as a guest on GMB as she and Piers enjoy some time off during the Easter break, the 46-year-old brunette beauty joked about 'being able to speak' while promoting her new show Save Money Good Food without her opinionated sidekick.

Better off alone: Susanna Reid joked about enjoying her time away from Good Morning Britain co-host Piers Morgan, when she made promotional TV appearances on Tuesday morning

She told Kate Garraway and Charlotte Hawkins: 'It’s so strange to be on this side of the sofa... I love being here, I love being able to speak! Where's that little voice that normally happens over the top?'

Later, as Kate unintentionally spoke over Susanna, the fill-in host said: 'Sorry for talking over you there. Just call me Piers Morgan - with better hair!'

She also appeared on Lorraine Kelly's eponymous show in the same studios, where she joked again about being on TV without Piers.

Recipe for success: Richard held a copy of Susanna's book, Family Feasts For a Fiver, which she co-wrote with Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt

While she cracked jokes about enjoying Piers' absence, Susanna recently revealed to the Daily Mirror that she turned down the chance to appear in Love Actually 2 because it involved a jab at her co-host's expense.

The Comic Relief special, which aired during last month's Red Nose Day broadcast, featured a scene in which Hugh Grant's Prime Minister character said: 'Times have got harder and people are nervous and fearful.

'And it's not just in politics that things are tough, Usain Bolt has run his last Olympics, the Harry Potter films are finished, Piers Morgan is still alive.'

Coming soon: Her show, about eating well on a budget, is set to debut on ITV on Tuesday night

Tips: During her interviews, she shared money-saving tips when it comes to preparing food

Break: Susanna is currently enjoying a break from hosting GMB during the Easter break

Holidays: The brunette beauty and her co-host often take breaks during the school holidays

This swipe at the presenter was apparently enough for Susanna to pass on the opportunity to appear in the short film.

The 46-year-old allegedly insisted that appearing in the 'sequel' would have been disrespectful in light of her daily working relationship with Piers, 52.

She also said: 'I enjoy how viewers react to my relationship with Piers on the sofa. It’s evolving – like any good TV "marriage".

'He winds me up no end, but I also like him.

Getting along like a house on fire: While Susanna has often said that Piers winds her up, the two appear to have a very cordial relationship

Changes: Her cookbook and new show will serve as something of a new direction for Susanna

Smoke without fire: During the show, the co-hosts joked about getting a smoke machine ready ahead of Michael Bolton's appearance on the show

Oops! However, they were seen laughing as the aforementioned smoke began to fill the studio

Time to clear the air: Kate attempted to fan it all away during the live breakfast broadcast

Gasp! Susanna appeared to be holding her breath as the studio was filled with the stage smoke

'It’s an impossible-to-predict recipe of mutual respect, irritation, frustration & admiration but it works.'

Susanna did appear on Red Nose Day, however -with comedic pair Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer 'interviewing' her in character.

Partaking in a bit of role reversal, Susanna was asked a series of bizarre and crude questions - including whether she would be inclined to use a £10 note or sock to clean herself with after going to the toilet, if she had ran out of loo roll.

Let's face it...: Richard also covered his face as things became overwhelming for him

Pink: For her TV appearance, Susanna stepped out out a season-appropriate pink floral blouse

Match: Her perfect manicure, featuring bubblegum pink nail varnish, matched her ensemble

Form-fitting: She teamed her eye-catching top with a pair of form-fitting black trousers

Tress-ed to impress: The TV host's chestnut brown locks rested on her shoulders in soft waves

Susanna politely swerved the question, but was left red-faced when Vic then confronted her with a fake penis.

He had asked Susanna if she had 'seen Kong' - referring to the new movie release - before proceeding to open his legs and flash his manhood at her.

She immediately covered her eyes and tried to hold back her laughter as Vic decided to share a description of 'Kong'.

Comic Relief shocker! Comedians Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves appeared to irk viewers with their fake penis gag while performing a live comedy sketch with Susanna

'I don't think I'm missing anything...': Susanna, 46, covered her eyes and laughed awkwardly at Vic's penis joke

He told her: 'It's out there. It's quite long, have you seen it? It's very long and heavy at the end with a twist in the middle and at the beginning there's a couple of little clackers... it's quite hairy at the beginning. You'll probably miss it.'

A quick-witted Susanna hit back: 'I don't think I'm missing anything right now.'

Meanwhile, Love Actually's 10 minute 'where are they now' sequel didn't fail to entertain as viewers got to delve into the worlds of the characters once more, including Kiera Knightley's Juliet, Andrew Lincoln's Mark and Colin Firth's Jamie.

Going strong: Starting off on the right foot, fans rejoiced as they saw Colin Firth's character Jamie happily married to Portuguese love Aurelia (Lucia Moniz) following his public proposal 13 years ago, while still sporting his signature turtle necks
