Viewers who tuned in to Good Morning Britain on Monday morning were a bit surprised to see Susanna Reid reporting live from Poland.
Susanna, 51, flew to the nation's border with Ukraine as part of a special broadcast which saw her interview with young refugee Amelia.
Amelia went viral earlier this year when a clip of her singing Let It Go whilst seeking refuge in a shelter in Kyiv amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
However, a large chunk of viewers were left making the same joke as Richard Madeley, 65, held things together in the studio while flying solo in London.
One person took to social media to laugh "Susanna's gone to extreme lengths to not have to sit next to Richard Madeley this week" while a second added "Susanna is so desperate to get away from Richard Madeley she’s gone to Poland"
Another wrote "Susanna Reid decided she would rather be in Poland than share a studio with mad dick"
Others were impressed with how smoothly the show went given that Richard was going solo in studio while Susanna suffered from technical difficulties.
One person tweeted: "Richard showing what a top class presenter he is by going solo in the studio."
Another added: "Fantastic reporting from Poland this morning Susanna, its a credit to you as a brilliant journalist/Presenter that you are. Its appreciated in what your doing out there on GMB, its so heartbreaking what's happening in Ukraine. Take care out there and stay safe."
A third said: "Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain this morning and already the program has a more professional holding to account feel to it!"
Lilia Anisovych, the mother of Amelia, told Susanna of the moment she had to part ways with her young daughter and son, who headed for Poland with their grandmother in an evacuation.
She explained "We had Amelia, her brother, her grandmother and another woman and her kid.
"It's good Amelia remembers only good things about it. After their arrival in Lviv they had to sleep on the floor of the station, and it was only after that night that some volunteers come to take them to Poland.
"On their way, we got news that a new bombardment started on the way of the train. They had to change the route and once they were at the train station, a bombardment started exactly there.
"I followed the news and I can't describe my feelings. They remained safe. They saw some smoke from a distance but their train was okay."
