Ben Shephard suffered an awkward gaffe on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, after he accidentally said ‘nipples’ instead of ‘nostrils’.
The presenter, 46, was left red-faced when he made the ‘Freudian slip’ after his face was projected onto his co-host Susanna Reid’s dress.
The blunder happened when the pair discussed how the crew had been messing around with projecting things onto her dress while the local news aired.

The presenter, 50, said: ‘The trouble is when you work in television, things can be projected onto green.’

While Susanna joked she quite liked the design, Ben blurted out: ‘My nipples are…’.
