Today, Susanna Reid was unable to join her co-host Ed Balls on Good Morning Britain due to a family emergency. The 53-year-old ITV host had just returned to the show after a summer break, but unfortunately, she had to step back due to personal reasons.
Filling in for her, Ranvir Singh explained to viewers, "You may be wondering where Susanna is, but unfortunately, one of her boys fell ill overnight and she needed to be with him. So, we are here for you this morning."
Although some viewers missed her presence at the start of the show, many took to social media to express their concern. One user wrote, "Gutted there's no Susanna today," while another added, "What happened to Susanna?"
Susanna had marked her return to the show on Monday with a lighthearted post on Instagram. She joked about being called "Piers Morgan in a wig" by comedian Jimmy Tarbuck, sharing a photo of herself posing in a groovy outfit. "Groovy! Austin Powers or 'Piers Morgan in a wig'? You decide!" she wrote.
This unexpected absence comes after Susanna had revealed that she spent part of her summer holiday in Ibiza with her sons. She shared, "I've been going for ten years and it was amazing to really enjoy it with my boys now that they are old enough to go clubbing. We go to day clubs together and then I go back to the hotel while they go to nightclubs!"
Susanna is a private person and doesn't often talk about her personal life, but she does have three sons with her ex-partner Dominic Cotton. The couple was together for 16 years before announcing their split in 2014. Her three sons, Sam, Finn, and Jack, are now in their early 20s.
In a previous interview, Susanna had shared about the emotional experience of her youngest son leaving for university in 2022. "You cry your heart out because all that regular time with your children has gone. It's really sad," she said. "Now that they're all en route to leaving home, I want to enjoy as much time with them as I possibly can. Good Morning Britain is my biggest commitment, and I'm not taking on anything extra."
