Susanna Reid’s absent-minded remark to guest James Middleton during Wednesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain left him stunned as the 38-year-old appeared on the show alongside a special guest. Hosts Susanna and Ed Balls discussed the day’s biggest stories and topics and invited Kate Middleton’s brother, James, 38, to join them during one segment of the ITV programme.
The Princess of Wales’ brother brought along his dogs Inka and Isla, much to Susanna’s delight. James revealed how his late pup Ella, who he previously wrote his book, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life about, helped him battle through dark times in his mental health.
He told the hosts: “When I was really struggling, Ella was the one who was able to step in and really help me and she was doing it consciously. I truly believe she was consciously knowledgeable about how she was helping me.”
During the interview, Susanna was happy to be distracted by Inka who was sitting by her on the sofa enjoying a clap from the presenter, the Mirror reports.

She petted and laughed as the pooch licked her face while James discussed how Ella helped him when he was struggling with his mental health.
Susanna replied: “I’ve barely listened to a word you have said. I am in the moment with Inka, that unfortunately means that I’m not in the moment with anyone else.”
James and co-host Ed chuckled at her comment before going on to discuss the benefits of having dogs as pets.
Kate’s brother added: “Dogs improve prod in the workplace so I think if you can’t have a dog in the workplace you should be encouraged to bring it because they do improve, increase productivity.” He added: Although they are a distraction.”
Meanwhile, Good Morning Britain viewers were recently delighted after a slight shake-up in the presenting team.
The audience are typically served the latest news by Susanna Reid and one of her regular male co-hosts, either Ed Balls or Richard Madeley.
However, on Bank Holiday Monday, viewers tuned in to see Ranvir Singh and Robert Rinder at the helm instead.
While the duo received mixed reviews, it was the pleasant change in weather presenter that really delighted viewers.
