SUSANNA Reid slammed Piers Morgan's "fragile masculinity" and accused him of "arguing with an empty room" in a heated debate about Mr Potato Head. The 55-year-old star was left fuming last week when Hasbro revealed they'd ditched the "Mr" from their umbrella Potato Head brand name - although male and female versions remain available to buy. Piers kicked off today's Good Morning Britain by ranting about the move, which baffled Susanna as she repeatedly clarified that Mr and Mrs Potato Head still exist.
