Good Morning Britain star announces break from ITV show
Good Morning Britain star Susanna Reid has confirmed she will be taking a break from the ITV show as she is "off on her summer holidays." Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid surprised viewers with an unexpected announcement as Thursday's episode came to a close, revealing that she would be stepping away from the show for a while. The seasoned broadcaster had returned to the GMB studio that morning (July 10), joining co-host Richard Madeley to deliver the day's top news headlines. However, as the programme wrapped up, Susanna shared some personal news, telling viewers that she would be taking a break from the show for the next few weeks as she begins her summer break, the Mirror reports. Her departure means fans won't see her on-screen again until after the break. However she didn't confirm an exact return date. Addressing the viewers at home, she stated: "I am off on my summer holidays and we'll see you at the start of the new term." An official replacement for Susanna during her time off has yet to be confirmed, though it's expected that one of Good Morning Britain's regular presenters such as Ranvir Singh, Kate Garraway or Charlotte Hawkins will be stepping in. Since making the move to ITV in 2024, Susanna has firmly cemented her place as one of the most recognisable stars on breakfast television. Prior to joining Good Morning Britain, she worked on other programmes such as BBC Breakfast, Sunday Morning Live and The Andrew Marr Show. She has become a familiar face on our screens from Monday to Wednesday, regularly working on the show alongside several other rotating co-hosts. Her announcement comes at a time when ITV is reportedly preparing a significant shake-up of its daytime schedule - a move that has put several on-air roles in jeopardy. These substantial changes have sparked major concern amongst both employees and audiences regarding the future of their beloved programmes and presenters on the network. ITV chiefs have revealed a major shake-up for both Loose Women and Lorraine as part of fresh cost-cutting initiatives. Starting in 2026, Lorraine Kelly's morning show will be reduced to a 30-minute slot, airing from 9:30am to 10am - cutting down from its current one-hour format. The programme will also be shortened to just 30 weeks a year, meaning the regular stand-in hosts who cover for Lorraine during breaks will find themselves out of work. ITV bosses have also announced major changes to Loose Women, revealing that the show will be moving to "a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year" according to network bosses. The potential job losses have left viewers speculating on who and which presenters might face the chop. These new changes were announced in May by Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of ITV's Media and Entertainment Division, who stated that the changes were essential to "generate savings."

Susanna Reid leaves fans 'confused' with BBC return after 11 years
Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid returned to the BBC on Sunday Susanna Reid has left fans "confused" with her BBC return after 11 years. The 54-year-old presenter's career began as a news producer at BBC Radio Bristol, before she transitioned into a reporting role on BBC News 24. Susanna later secured a presenting position on BBC Breakfast, where she worked alongside Bill Turnbull and Charlie Stayt. In 2010, she left the show to join Sunday Morning Live. Following appearances on The Andrew Marr Show, Susanna moved to ITV to host Good Morning Britain, which replaced Daybreak. Susanna currently co-hosts the programme with a rotating line-up of presenters, including Richard Madeley, Ed Balls, and Martin Lewis, reports the Manchester Evening News. At the weekend, Susanna returned to the BBC after 11 years to participate in a panel discussion on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. Following her appearance, she took to Instagram to post a photo of herself on set, alongside panellists Daniel Kebede and James Harding. "SUNDAY! Always fantastic to be on @bbclaurak back at the BBC, this morning with @danielkebede and James Harding," the caption read. Susanna went on to reassure her followers that she'd be back on Good Morning Britain on Monday (July 7), saying, "Back @ gmb tomorrow!" Fans were thrilled to see her return to the BBC Studios, with many expressing their shock in the comments section. "A nice surprise in the morning!" one person wrote. Another added: "Nice to see you back on the BBC," while a third said: "Yes I watched it just because you were back." A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: "I was confused this morning thinking it was Monday already when I saw you. Then realised I had BBC One on and there was no Ed." The Sunday morning political show delved into voter perspectives a year on from Keir Starmer's Labour triumph in the general election. Susanna sparked a lively discussion among the audience when she suggested that the Prime Minister might benefit from a stint on I'm a Celebrity to enhance his public image, much like Nigel Farage did with his 2023 reality TV appearance. A viewer, clearly exasperated by Susanna's comments, vented on X (formerly Twitter): "According to Susanna Reid, Starmer should go to I'm a Celebrity. We are doomed."

After starting as a BBC News 24 reporter, Reid hosted BBC Breakfast alongside Bill Turnbull and Charlie Stayt from 2003 to 2014, and a stint on Sunday Morning Live from 2010 to 2011.

Her commentary on Sunday's show also sparked some discourse after she suggested Starmer go on I'm A Celebrity in order to increase his popularity among voters. 'Well I was struck when I heard someone say, 'I quite like Nigel Farage because I saw him on I'm A Celebrity', and I thought perhaps Sir Keir Starmer needs to go on I'm A Celeb in order for voters to know who he is, as the words that seem to be coming out of everyone's mouth is 'I don't know',' she told Kuenssberg. At the time of Reid's exit from the BBC the show's editor Adam Bullimore said: 'BBC Breakfast is a hugely successful programme and Susanna has been part of that.
