Susanna Reid announced she will be taking a break from Good Morning Britain.
The ITV presenter confirmed she will be taking some time off on the show and will enjoy a summer holiday, as she thanked her colleagues ahead of her break. Susanna is the usual presenter of GMB, alongside a rotating string of male co-stars who join her for hosting duties, writes the Mirror.
Susanna's temporary leave isn't unusual as big presenters always take a summer break, including the likes of This Morning's Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield who are already off. The iconic duo are being replaced by co-stars Dermot O'Leary, Alison Hammond and Rochelle Humes.
During the show today, Susanna's co host Charlotte confessed she was trying to book a holiday. It was then that Susanna was asked if she was on a break soon and what she might be doing with her time off.
"Today is my last day for the summer. I may be renting a beach hut. So just want to say thank you to everybody but I leave you in the very capable hands of this wonderful team over the summer," she said, confirming her summer break.
As they revealed what was coming up next, Susanna then quipped: "However, I'm not off yet, I still have 43 minutes." Meanwhile, Susanna previously joked about the presenter switch-up
"Now when you are presenting right now, it's a little bit like speed dating. There has been a fair few fellas," Lorraine asked during a chat on her morning show, as Susanna joked back: "TV Tinder!"
"It is TV Tinder! There's been quite a few," Lorraine then added.
Susanna went on to list some of her fellow co-hosts, as clips of them presenting together were shown on screen. "There's my good friend Rob Rinder, I'm normally out in Ibiza with him. There's Ed Balls, who we know of course. Alistair Campbell as well," she said, "Richard Madeley, Adil Ray, Bill Turnbull, Richard Bacon, Martin Lewis. Where does it stop?"
Since Piers Morgan's departure, there has been a "supergroup" of male presenters joining Susanna on the show. "It’s been talked about as a super-group of presenters with different personalities, styles and opinions," the insider told The Mirror, "Each brings something fresh to the table and Susanna is the perfect co-host in bringing out their respective qualities."
