GMB's Susanna Reid issues show update as she's flooded with support
Susanna Reid took to social media to share a big announcement about Good Morning Britain, prompting fans to share their support
Susanna Reid has sparked a wave of support from Good Morning Britain viewers with an exciting update about the programme.
The well-known presenter shared a significant milestone for the ITV morning show, where she regularly appears with Ed Balls and Richard Madeley.
Taking to social media, Susanna revealed that GMB had reached its highest viewing figures of the year, noting this was their best performance since last year's election coverage. It comes on the back of the announcement that ITV is shaking up its daytime scheduling and the show will be on air for an extra 30 minutes daily.
Riding high on this news, Susanna posted: "RATINGS! Good Morning Britain had its HIGHEST figures this year, peaking at almost 1 MILLION of you watching. Our highest ratings since last year's election special," complemented by a picture of her and co-host Ed.
Underlining her gratitude, Susanna expressed: "Thanks to a great team and YOU the viewers!"
Fans quickly took to the internet to express their congratulations and praise for both Susanna and the GMB team, reports the Manchester Evening News.
One admirer shared: "Absolutely well done congratulations GMB brilliant team," while another added to the chorus of approval: "Top show, rarely miss it.. you know it's good when it winds up all the right people."
A faithful viewer praised Susanna, remarking: "You have played a massive role in this @susannareid100! A journalist and tv presenter at the top of her game."
Echoing the sentiment, another fan stated: "Well done Susanna. Always great broadcast with Susanna," and another message read: "You deserve it! Watching from France every morning since day one."
Susanna's update comes after she had to clap back at a troll on X, after she rigorously questioned Robert Jenrick during a heated interview on GMB.
Robert became a topic of intense social media discussion following a viral video where he confronted TFL commuters about fare evasion, with one man implying he was carrying a blade.
Susanna zeroed in on this worrying incident involving a knife-wielding commuter while interviewing Richard and pressed him on his reaction to such a disturbing incident.
Following her tough interview, a social media user tried to belittle Susanna by questioning her knowledge of public transport on X, asking, "When was the last time you got The Tube, Susanna? You, literally, have no clue what it's like."
To which Susanna coolly replied with a succinct comeback: "I am currently on the tube."
Her fans supported her sharp retort, with comments like: "Brilliant Susanna," and another fan cheering, "Love a good take down."

Sue Cleaver reflects on '25 years of laughs' after Coronation Street exit
Eileen Grimshaw had a special send-off during Friday's episode of the soap, where she was seen leaving for Thailand alongside her son Jason Grimshaw, played by Ryan Thomas. Simon Gregson's character Steve McDonald, Tony Maudsley's George Shuttleworth, and Eileen's son Todd, played by Gareth Pierce, all said goodbye to the matriarch before drivers from the local taxi firm honked their horns as she was driven off. In an Instagram post, Cleaver said: 'Well… that's a wrap. 25 years of laughs, tears, costumes, chaos — and one unforgettable journey. A post shared by Sue Cleaver (@officialsuecleaver) 'I'll miss this character like crazy, but what a ride it's been. Thank you for every moment.' Cleaver has played the outspoken and uncomplicated Eileen in the ITV show since 2000. Eileen came to Weatherfield to work at the local taxi firm, Streetcars, to provide for her two tearaway teenage children, Jason and Todd. She soon became friends with her boss Steve and came into conflict with Helen Worth's character Gail Rodwell (also known as Gail Platt). Cleaver took part in I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2022, where she opened up about reconciling with her birth mother, and was eliminated third. She also said her family is 'bizarrely interconnected' to other Coronation Street stars, including Worth who is godmother to one of her half-sisters, while her other half-sister's husband, John Bowe, appeared on the cobbles as Duggie Ferguson. In 2024, she released a book A Work In Progress in which she discusses how she feels she is not past her prime. In recent years she has appeared as a panellist on ITV chat show Loose Women.
