Ain’t that a kick in the head!
The moment happened on the U.K. news programGood Morning Britainwhen co-hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid debated whether it is OK to put your feet up on the seat in front of you during a plane or train ride.
As the duo made their way over to four mocked-up plane seats set up for them in the studio with regular commentators Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire, Reid, 53, asked, “Is it OK for Ed and Andrew then to…”
But before she could finish her question, Balls, 56, accidentally caught Reid on her head as he placed his shoes on the top of her seat.

She continued, “That is our debate this morning, should you put your feet up on the seats?”
