Susanna Reid is set to return to Good Morning Britain on Monday, July 6, after a brief absence for a special project. The 55-year-old presenter last appeared on the ITV breakfast show on Monday, June 22, covering Sir Keir Starmer's resignation as Labour Party leader.
Background of Absence
Sir Keir Starmer stood down in an address outside Number 10 Downing Street, though he remains in post until a new leader is elected. Nominations open on Thursday, July 9, and close by July 16. The June 22 edition of GMB overran by 30 minutes due to the breaking news. Afterwards, Reid announced on Instagram she would step away for a special project.
Return Announcement
On Sunday, July 5, Reid posted on Instagram confirming her return alongside Ed Balls. She wrote: "BACK TO WORK! Excited to be back @gmb tomorrow with @edballs - we are just discussing our plans to watch the football without crashing out during the programme." She also asked fans how they planned to watch England's World Cup match against Mexico at 1am Monday.
Fan Reactions
Fans quickly expressed joy at her comeback. One wrote: "Good to have you back. Thought you had done a Starmer. Especially given the timing of your absence." Another joked: "There's only one Reido." A third added: "Great to have you back, always a bonus when you enjoy your work." One admirer said: "Beautiful look and adorable, Susanna, looking forward to seeing you back on our screens with good news about England's game against Mexico."
