A FAN-FAVOURITE Good Morning Britain anchor shocked viewers after switching to a BBC breakfast programme this weekend. The ITV presenter, 53, who joined the weekday show in 2014, hopped channels to BBC One on Sunday. Susanna Reid - who fronts Good Morning Britain every Monday to Thursday - starred on Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg as part of the panel.
BBC politics reporter Laura joked about Susanna's former stint on the channel, where she fronted BBC Breakfast from 2001 until 2014, telling how the broadcaster "was no stranger to these parts." During Susanna's previous appearance on the weekly show in December, fans branded her a "boss" for her straight-talking comments. This week's programme focussed on the upcoming UK General Election on July 4.
Talk also turned to the election betting scandal after a second Tory candidate was caught placing a bet on the prospect of an early July election. The show aired with just 11 days to go until voters take to the polls. Meanwhile, Susanna will be playing a huge part in GMB's election results coverage after we reported on broadcaster ITV's plans.
The weekday show will be extended for an 25 minutes as the election results start to roll in on Friday July 5. Susanna will be joined by regular GMB co-host Ed Balls, 57, who will be pulling in a double shift after grafting in the evening on July 4 on another ITV election show. The broadcaster claims Good Morning Britain will play its part with "up-to-the-minute election news and insights" on Ju.
