The former couple appeared to be on great terms following the end of their relationship, as they chatted happily during the segment.

Welcoming Steve onto the show, the mother-of-three, said: ‘We’re joined now by Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish, morning Steve.’

While Susanna was keen to hear Steve’s take on the topic in light of the fact all six English clubs who were slated to join the league have now drawn, viewers more interested in the dating history between the pair. 

Awks! Although the TV host, 50, failed to mention her romance with the football chairman many viewers took to Twitter to joke about the 'awkward' encounter.

During the interview, Steve said: ‘The fans really fought for the right to lose yesterday,’ he enthused. 

‘They said that they don’t want victory without the jeopardy and the risk of losing, that it’s meaningless to them and they don’t want to be part of a gilded elite with no relegation and no promotion. 

‘So absolutely the fans, the players, the managers that came out against it, all of them must deserve high praise.

‘We have to remember that these things were dreamed up by people, not by football clubs. ‘What we’ve got to do now is try and start a healing process and find a way forward.’
