GMB’s Susanna Reid swoons over “naked” pic of Emmerdale hottie Ned Porteous

She got a bit giddy when she saw him with his top off!

Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid got more than a little hot and bothered live on telly this morning when she was shown a pic of Emmerdale hunk Ned Porteous with his top off!

There’s no denying that Ned, who plays villain Joe Tate, is easy on the eye – so catching a glimpse of him with his kit off made Susanna go a bit giddy as she admired the picture.

Ned was appearing on GMB alongside hosts Susanna and Piers Morgan, and soap expert Richard Arnold to chat about Joe’s evil plans to destroy the Dingles.

Susanna was in the middle of asking Ned a question about the upcoming storyline when a photo of him with his top off flashed up on the screen behind her.

“Woah,” she said, stopping the interview to admire the view. “Hang on a moment!”

And Piers joked that they’d just seen pictures of Ned “completely naked”!

Luckily Susanna was able to regain her composure enough to carry on with the chat and ask Ned how he’s finding being the object of so many lustful looks (her own included!).

Ned joked that always wears a disguise now, to avoid being recognised by fans.

“I wear a hat and sunglasses and never leave the house,” he said.

But while he was happy to talk about himself, Ned kept frustratingly schtum about what Joe’s up to.

Yesterday Emmerdale revealed that Joe will soon be confronted by a masked gunman and left to die in a pit.

But Ned didn’t reveal anything about whether that will be the end of his evil revenge plot – or just the beginning!
