Good Morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls returned to the show after their summer break on Monday

Good Morning Britain fans said the same thing as Susanna Reid unveiled a new look after her summer break.

During Monday’s (September 1) edition of the hit ITV programme, Susanna and her co-host Ed Balls made their return as they presented the latest news from across the UK and around the world.

It comes after the pair took several weeks off over the summer holidays.

They were joined in the studio by Alex Beresford, who delivered regular weather forecasts, while Ranvir Singh took charge of the rest of the day’s news.

The show’s viewers quickly took to social media to share their delight at Susanna’s return, with many noticing her glam new hair transformation. The 54-year-old has notably dyed her hair a lighter colour, a far cry from her signature brunette locks.

“Hello, September new month new hairstyle. Nice to see you back,” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another added: “I’m glad you’re back, it’s not been the same show without you. I hope you had a great summer,” while a third said: “Susanna looking fresh faced and lovely after her well earned summer break.”

Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid returned to the BBC on Sunday

Susanna Reid has left fans “confused” with her BBC return after 11 years.

The 54-year-old presenter’s career began as a news producer at BBC Radio Bristol, before she transitioned into a reporting role on BBC News 24.

Susanna later secured a presenting position on BBC Breakfast, where she worked alongside Bill Turnbull and Charlie Stayt. In 2010, she left the show to join Sunday Morning Live.

Following appearances on The Andrew Marr Show, Susanna moved to ITV to host Good Morning Britain, which replaced Daybreak.

Susanna currently co-hosts the programme with a rotating line-up of presenters, including Richard Madeley, Ed Balls, and Martin Lewis, reports the Manchester Evening News.

At the weekend, Susanna returned to the BBC after 11 years to participate in a panel discussion on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

Following her appearance, she took to Instagram to post a photo of herself on set, alongside panellists Daniel Kebede and James Harding.

“SUNDAY! Always fantastic to be on @bbclaurak back at the BBC, this morning with @danielkebede and James Harding,” the caption read.

Susanna went on to reassure her followers that she’d be back on Good Morning Britain on Monday (July 7), saying, “Back @gmb tomorrow!”

Fans were thrilled to see her return to the BBC Studios, with many expressing their shock in the comments section.

“A nice surprise in the morning!” one person wrote.

Another added: “Nice to see you back on the BBC,” while a third said: “Yes I watched it just because you were back.”

A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: “I was confused this morning thinking it was Monday already when I saw you. Then realised I had BBC One on and there was no Ed.”

The Sunday morning political show delved into voter perspectives a year on from Keir Starmer’s Labour triumph in the general election.

Susanna sparked a lively discussion among the audience when she suggested that the Prime Minister might benefit from a stint on I’m a Celebrity to enhance his public image, much like Nigel Farage did with his 2023 reality TV appearance.

A viewer, clearly exasperated by Susanna’s comments, vented on X (formerly Twitter): “According to Susanna Reid, Starmer should go to I’m a Celebrity. We are doomed.”

Good Morning Britain co-host Susanna Reid was forced to interrupt a conversation about OnlyFans

On Good Morning Britain, Susanna Reid had to step in and humorously remind her colleagues that they were live on air during a cheeky exchange.

The Monday show took an unexpected turn when the panel discussed the earnings potential on OnlyFans, leaving Ed Balls particularly astonished.

Kurts Adams Rozentals, a British canoeist, had earlier shared on the programme that he was raking in a six-figure income from OnlyFans, despite being barred from competition due to “allegations” concerning his social media activity.

While reflecting on the sportsman’s unconventional revenue stream, Ed quipped: “We are in the wrong jobs!”

GMB guest Andrew Pierce then teased: “Ed, are you putting yourself forward as a potential model on OnlyFans?”

Amused by the thought, the former Strictly contestant chuckled: “It’s amazing on the internet what you can make money from.”

Ed even suggested there might be a “niche” for Andrew, prompting Kevin Maguire to chime in with: “There’ll be a fetish stream!”

Ed, highlighting that making money on OnlyFans isn’t against the law, continued: “Well, Andrew, when you find out how much money he’s making, honestly, you should think about it.”

GB News’ Andrew retorted: “I thought about it, Ed, the answer is no!”

Yet, he couldn’t resist making a playful offer to Ed, joking: “Are you suggesting we do it together? Are you blushing, Ed?”

With Ed turning a shade of red, Susanna quickly interjected as the conversation veered off course. “This is going in a whole different direction!” she exclaimed.

“Blimey!” added Kevin, before Susanna firmly reminded them with a laugh: “We are still on air, guys!”

While Ed isn’t keen on making waves on OnlyFans, he certainly raised eyebrows with Susanna after disclosing a saucy bikini anecdote.

In 2023, he made a surprising revelation about participating in a charity swimsuit competition, boasting: “I’ve got to say, I looked really good.”

Susanna was taken aback by the unexpected viewing of Ed sporting a mankini on GMB.

“Has it been censored?” she quipped, as Ed jestingly responded: “Luckily, you’re not showing the bottom half!”

Susanna then queried, amidst their banter, “Is that an AI mock-up?”

Upon revealing the photographs, Ed shared the family rule his children set regarding the mankini—no wearing without boxers because it is “too revealing.”

“I’d not shaved or anything,” he confided.

“To those claiming it’s too early… you’re absolutely correct,” Susanna retorted. “This’ll be the amusing surprise that just keeps on giving!”

Good Morning Britain star Susanna Reid shared an update after a car ploughed into crowds celebrating Liverpool’s Premier League victory parade

Good Morning Britain star Susanna Reid delivered “horrific” breaking news on Tuesday (May 27).

At the top of the programme, Susanna reported that four children were among those injured at yesterday’s Liverpool FC parade.

A man, aged 53, has been taken into custody following an incident where a car struck several pedestrians in Liverpool city centre during the Premier League victory parade.

Eyewitness accounts and videos circulating on social media depict the vehicle ploughing through a crowd, causing people to flee the scene.

The police have stated that the incident is not being treated as terror-related and appears to be an isolated event, reports Bristol Live.

“Our breaking news this morning is that we now know that four children were among the dozens injured yesterday as a people carrier was driven into crowds celebrating Liverpool’s Premier League victory parade,” Susanna began.

“Firefighters had to lift up the vehicle to rescue a child, who was among four people trapped underneath it.”

Ed Balls chimed in: “The Prime Minister has paid tribute to the city’s unity, saying Liverpool stands together and the whole country stands with Liverpool.”

Chief correspondent Richard Gaisford was reporting live from Liverpool, while Nitya Rajan was stationed outside Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

Before airing a pre-recorded segment, Richard issued a cautionary note to viewers. Following this, Nitya provided details about the injuries sustained in the incident.

“One child out of the four that were injured has sustained serious injuries,” she confirmed.

Back in the studio, Susanna Reid and Ed Balls discussed the heart-wrenching impact of the incident on the community.

“Devastating scenes there. Of course, everyone thought that they were celebrating something joyful,” Susanna said.

“This parade was miles long, and initially people would not have realised what happened in Water Street if they had already drifted off in other directions.

“Obviously, your heart goes out to everyone injured, those who saw what happened, people would have been really devastated witnessing that, but everyone else in the parade thinking it was one of the best days of their life, and all that’s come over that now is just awful.”

Ed added: “It’s so particularly upsetting for this to happen in Liverpool. They were denied a parade during the pandemic when they won the league. Liverpool has faced such terrible football hardship over the years.

“For this to happen again and on the day when they’re celebrating such a dramatically brilliant win in the Premier League is really unfair. It’s terrible.”
