Susanna Reid might be 45 but Justin Timberlake has declared she is a “super hot grandmother”. The veteran presenter was left lost for words after the singer offered a somewhat bittersweet compliment.

Nevertheless, the comment did not arise from nowhere - Reid performs the voice of the grandmother in Timberlake’s new film Trolls.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain via a video link-up alongside his co-star Anna Kendrick, Timberlake brandished a photo of Reid.

“Good morning Britain! Susanna, look you’re here with us,” he said. “You play my grandmother in Trolls and you look way too young.”

The 35-year-old musician then proceeded to move the photo in front of his face and declared: ““I have a super-hot grandmother.”

Reid was left appearing somewhat embarrassed, although she did quip: “I can retire now”.

Piers Morgan relished in teasing Reid about the incident, joking that Timberlake was “right in” her “target range”.
