Good Morning Britain aired a pre-recorded interview with Richard Arnold and Simon Cowell on Wednesday’s show, where host Susanna Reid was left distracted by a detail

Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid was left distracted by a detail at Simon Cowell’s home on Wednesday’s show.

During the latest instalment, the ITV chat show aired a pre-recorded interview with Richard Arnold and Simon, 64, which took place at the music mogul’s lavish and ‘lovely’ abode. However, Susanna, 53, was quick to ask: “Did you have to take your shoes off?” to which Richard, 54, admitted: “I did have to take my shoes off as respect, of course!”

Intrigued, Susanna then asked: “Did he provide indoor shoes or slippers?” with Richard responding: “He provided homemade cookies made by his chef, nice touch!” Meanwhile, co-host Ed Balls asked: “Did you go bare feet?” with Richard replying: “Not bare feet but I didn’t have the best socks on so I apologise if anyone’s disturbed!”, he added of the home: “It’s a lovely crib, beautiful.”

Good Morning Britain then showed the interview, where Simon spoke about wanting to find the next big boy band and is holding auditions across the UK. However, after the clip played, Ed admitted he was disappointed he couldn’t see Richard’s socks to which GMB then showed a grab from the interview with Richard’s socks on full display.

Yet Susanna was left distracted as she spotted a detail and pointed out: “Hang on a moment, so he [Simon] wears shoes but insists guests take their shoes off?” to which Richard said: “The devil’s in the detail, I mean, it is his gaff!”, the presenter added: “I really wanted to stay, I felt right at home there!”

It comes as Harry Styles is said to have personally phoned Simon following his scathing One Direction comments. The former X Factor judge left fans of the mega-boyband rattled when he revealed that he regretted giving the lads the rights to their band name, as he couldn’t profit from it. The group, which was put together by Nicole Scherzinger on The X Factor went on to find global fame each week as they battled it out in the competition.
