Boyzlife has criticized Susanna Reid for making a mistake on Wednesday’s Good Morning Britain.
The journalist, 53, was chatting to Boyzone’s Keith Duffy and Westlife’s Brian McFadden alongside her co-presenter Richard Madeley.
Keith and Brian appeared on the show to promote their upcoming tour as musical duo Boyzlife, which kicks off in January 2025.
But before they could mention their latest announcement, the GMB hosts shared a sweet clip from 30 years ago of Richard interviewing Boyzone.
As her brief trip into the past ended, so did her interview, as Susanna apparently decided it was time to sign off without discussing the group’s tour.
Susanna Reid came under fire from Boyzlife for making a mistake on Wednesday’s Good Morning Britain show.

As the host attempted to say goodbye to her guests, wishing Brian and Keith “all the best,” the two quickly called out her mistake.
You never mentioned the tour! they exclaimed in unison.
Amused by the slip, Keith joked: “We don’t get up that early in the morning, we only do it to promote our tour.”
Boyzone, made up of Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch, achieved international fame and six UK number ones, including Words, No Matter What, All That Matters To Me and You Needed Me.
The band officially broke up in 2000, but frequently got back together for landmark tours, including the Back Again… No Matter What tour in 2009, which was the last time they performed as a quintet.
The band reunited in 2013 to celebrate their 20th anniversary with a tour and new releases.
In 2018, Boyzone confirmed their plans to split for good after releasing one final album dedicated to late bandmate Stephen Gately.
The band revealed that they would be calling it quits after their 25th anniversary tour and album.

It was a tribute to Stephen, who tragically died suddenly in 2009 from a congenital heart defect at the age of 33.
Confirming the news on Twitter, the four shared a photo of themselves along with a statement.
They wrote: ‘The new thing is out and yes, it’s true. Our new album will be the last from Boyzone. We’ve had an incredible 25 years and we promise you this will be our biggest and best year yet. Watch this space… #BZ25 (sic)’
The album included an unreleased song by Stephen, which was modified to include his own vocals.
Keith previously admitted he struggled to cope when the band went back on tour after Stephen’s shocking death.
He said: ‘We did two big (comeback) tours in 2008 and 2009, and we stayed four nights in each place. Then we came back with the Greatest Hits album in 2009, and in October we were in the middle of recording the Brother album when we lost Stephen.
“He died in 2009 and we got back on the road in 2011, two years later, which was too soon. Too soon.
‘Emotionally and psychologically… I’ll be very honest, Shane and I were drinking too much, trying to numb the pain, on and off stage.
“It just didn’t work and it wasn’t pleasant. We didn’t want to be together. That’s when we took a year off.
Busted and McFly made the dreams of 2,000 pop fans come true when they announced they would become one band in 2013.
And nineties heartthrobs Boyzone and Westlife will follow suit when Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy team up to create a super duo, called Boyzlife.

The former pop stars are spearheading the company and revealed that it has “no limits” while sharing their plans to tour together.
The pair will share stories from their pop heyday, as well as perform each of their band’s best-known hits.
Keith attempted to break into the film and television industry after Boyzone disbanded in 2000.
He appeared in the 2001 series of Celebrity Big Brother and had a brief stint on ITV’s Splash in 2014, but it was his role as Ciaran McCarthy in Coronation Street that put him on the radar.
