Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has announced she is taking an extended break from the ITV morning show. While she confirmed her temporary departure, her replacement has not yet been revealed.
Here’s the Lowdown: On the April 3 episode, Susanna Reid confirmed she would be stepping away from her hosting duties for “a couple of weeks.” Reid typically anchors the show from Monday to Wednesday and shares Thursday duties. Her co-host Ed Balls acknowledged her planned absence at the end of the Thursday show, and Reid assured viewers, “I will be back – do not fear.”
What This Means Now: Viewers of Good Morning Britain will see a different face alongside Ed Balls, Richard Madeley, and Kate Garraway during Reid’s time off. The break means a temporary change to the presenting line-up for the popular breakfast programme over the next couple of weeks.
The Bigger Picture: This planned break follows a shorter period Reid took off back in February during the half-term school holiday. A familiar face on UK breakfast television, Reid joined GMB in 2014 after a long run on BBC Breakfast. Her temporary departure comes after a recent on-air reunion with former co-host Piers Morgan, which included a lighthearted but awkward moment when she declined his request for a hug. Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV.
