presenter sparked fury amongst fans as they rushed to complain.
The ITV programme returned on Tuesday (November 19) and Susanna and Richard Madeley discussed some of the biggest stories hitting the headlines.
This included the amber weather warning, news that domestic energy prices are expected to hike up again in the New Year and British farmers staging a mass rally against the Labour government’s budget at Westminster Abbey.
Discussing the former was Kevin Maguire and Andrew Pierce. Later in the show, the presenters were joined by fifth generation farmer Rebecca Wilson and former Labour minister Bill Rammell, who claimed only the wealthiest of landowners will be hit by the new inheritance tax bill.

However, it was Susanna who caught viewers’ attention as they raced to social media to complain about her handling of both interviews.
One wrote: ” repeatedly interrupted Kevin Maguire in the middle of the point he was trying to make. Play it back and you’ll see he wasn’t allowed to make his point even once without being talked down/drowned out.”
Another shared: ” and her colleagues ganging up against the Mirror lad again.”
A third declared: “Reid and Madeley constantly interrupting [and NOT LISTENING!!!] to Bill Rammell. Three against one AGAIN!!”
A fourth fumed: “Why is the arrogant S Reid behaving like a farmers daughter? Her body language is biased and subjective. WHY???”
It comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a 20% inheritance tax that will apply to farms worth more than £1m from April 2026.

But the Prime Minister looked to suppress fears as he hit back at calls to change course.
Speaking from the G20 summit in Brazil, he said: “If you take a typical case of a couple wanting to pass a family farm down to one of their children, which would be a very typical example, with all of the thresholds in place, that’s £3m before any inheritance tax is paid.”
He also said: “I’m confident that the vast majority of farms and farmers will not be affected at all by that aspect of the budget. They will be affected by the £5bn that we’re putting into farming. And I’m very happy to work with farmers on that.”
The comments come as thousands of farmers, including , are due to descend on Whitehall on Tuesday to protest the change.
