Susanna Reid Returns to Good Morning Britain After Falling Ill and Presenter Shake-Up

Susanna Reid's Absence

Susanna Reid, the beloved Good Morning Britain show legend, has made her highly-anticipated return to the programme after being forced to take time off due to illness. Last week, the 52-year-old presenter lost her voice at the National Television Awards, causing her to miss Wednesday's episode of the ITV show.

Unexpected Change for Susanna

Co-host Ed Balls revealed that Susanna had attempted to return to work the following day but was prevented from going on air. Producers seemingly overheard her croaking in her dressing room and made the decision to keep her off the show. Ed described the moment he encountered a different scene than usual, walking past Susanna's dressing room to find her in her white gown, ready for the show, but unable to participate.

Extended Absence

Not only did Susanna miss Wednesday's episode, but she was also asked to skip Monday's show as well. Informing her Instagram followers, she explained that her vocal cords had been affected by a mild infection, which she had been unaware of. Susanna assured her fans that the infection was not related to Covid-19 and expressed the need for further rest in order to recover.

A Dramatic New Look

Upon her return, Susanna debuted a stunning transformation, sporting a sleek and wavy bob with blonde highlights. She revealed to her co-host that she had opted for a few inches off her hair, leaving her feeling a little lighter. GMB viewers were enamored with her new style, flooding her social media accounts with compliments. The transformation was described as trendy, fabulous, and even capable of knocking years off her appearance.
