BREAKING: Susanna Reid issues major Good Morning Britain announcement as fans left emotional
Susanna Reid has shared a heartfelt update with Good Morning Britain viewers, confirming that she is stepping away from the ITV breakfast show for her annual summer break. In an emotional Instagram message, the presenter thanked viewers for their unwavering support throughout another busy season and assured fans that the break is only temporary.
“Thank you to our amazing viewers,” Susanna wrote, expressing her gratitude to everyone who has tuned in each morning. She also paid tribute to long-serving GMB director Stuart Earl, who is leaving the programme after more than a decade behind the scenes. Her touching farewell to a valued colleague struck a chord with fans, many of whom flooded the comments with messages of appreciation and well wishes.
Although viewers will miss seeing her on screen each morning, Susanna reassured them that the goodbye is only for the summer. She confirmed that both she and co-host Ed Balls are expected to return to Good Morning Britain on 1 September, putting to rest any speculation about her future with the show.
The announcement quickly prompted an emotional reaction online, with loyal viewers thanking Susanna for her professionalism, warmth and dedication. Many wished her a well-earned break, while others admitted mornings “won’t be the same” without her familiar presence.
For now, GMB viewers will have to say a temporary farewell—but if the response from fans is anything to go by, Susanna Reid’s return is already being eagerly awaited.
