Scrutiny of TV women ‘a fact’

BBC Breakfast presenter Susanna Reid says that she is resigned to being scrutinised for her choice of outfits.

The TV host, who has raised eyebrows for occasionally “showing too much leg or cleavage”, said the focus on women in TV was a “fact of life”.

Reid, 41, who will be the main female anchor when Breakfast moves north, told the Radio Times: “People seem to be shocked that women have breasts. There’ll be complaints about the fact that there is literally a shadow showing.”

The presenter told the magazine: “People are always going to talk about what women wear on TV. It’s a fact of life.”
