Susanna Reid, the 52-year-old anchor of ITV's Good Morning Britain, surprised viewers on Monday with a fresh new hairstyle as she returned from her summer break. The mother of three debuted a chic bob cut, trimmed just below her earlobes, replacing her usual shoulder-length waves with a sleek, straightened look.
Reid, who took a six-week hiatus from the programme, announced her return on social media platform X with a mirror selfie, captioning it: "New term – new trim! Back @gmb tomorrow with @edballs. Looking forward to seeing you from 6am." The post garnered over 6,000 likes and a flood of compliments from fans and celebrity friends.
Among the admirers was fellow ITV presenter Lorraine Kelly, who commented: "Gorgeous! Looking about 21 years old," accompanied by a red heart emoji. First Dates star Fred Sirieix added: "Suits you. Radiant! #ohlala." Fans also praised the new look, with one writing: "Your hair looks Amazing. Missed you for 6 weeks hope you had a lovely good summer break."
Reid appeared on the programme alongside co-host Ed Balls, wearing a blue dress as she delivered the morning headlines and reviewed the day's newspapers. Her new hairstyle marked a noticeable departure from her signature longer locks, which she had maintained for years.
The anchor had announced her extended break on July 19, telling viewers: "Good Morning Britain back tomorrow at 6am. I am saying goodbye now! It's time for Lorraine!" Her return signals the start of the autumn season for the popular breakfast show.
