Susanna Reid made an earlier than anticipated return to Good Morning Britain on Friday to pay an emotional tribute to her former presenting partner in crime, Bill Turnbull.
On Thursday, Bill's family broke the sad news that the former BBC Breakfast host had died at the age of 66, after a courageous battle with prostate cancer. In a touching statement, they wrote: "“He was resolutely positive and was hugely buoyed by the support he received from friends, colleagues, and messages from people wishing him luck. It was a great comfort to Bill that so many more men are now testing earlier for this disease."
Susanna was one of the first TV personalities to react to Bill's passing. Taking to Twitter, she wrote: "Bill was the kindest, funniest, most generous man in the business. I feel lucky to have worked with him and he taught me everything. But above all, he was devoted to his family and I am heartbroken for them. RIP Bill. We will miss you so much."
