She split from former sports reporter Dominic Cotton in 2014 after a 16-year marriage.

But Susanna Reid showed a light-hearted approach to her divorce as she was joined by an elderly couple, who hilariously revealed their secret to a long and healthy marriage - English roast dinners.

The 47-year-old burst into laughter with her co-presenter Piers Morgan, 52, on Monday's Good Morning Britain, as she responded: 'That's obviously where I've gone wrong'.

While Dominic began a relationship with Adela Straughan in 2014, Susanna has admitted she's not looking for love just yet, telling Fabulous in January: 'I’m not dating, and right now it feels like absolutely the right thing to be single and independent. It’s a positive choice.

'I am now in a position where I can be with my children as much as I possibly can, because work is in a really good place, and both of those things take up my energy, time and love. I can’t imagine who has the time to then start a new relationship. My goodness…

'I genuinely feel the happiest I’ve ever been. There will be plenty of time for... anything else… later, later, later.'
