Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has posted a heartfelt farewell message to departing colleagues as the show undergoes significant changes following ITV's restructuring plans. The presenter shared photos on social media of a New Year's Eve gathering with the production team, writing: 'A fabulous gathering of the BEST team in television @gmb and a farewell to those off to new adventures.'
ITV announced earlier that more than 220 positions would be cut, with programmes like Lorraine reduced to 30 minutes across 30 weeks per year. Loose Women will also move to a seasonal format for 30 weeks annually. The changes, set to begin in early 2026, include relocating daytime shows from Television Centre to new premises.
Reid confirmed she and co-host Ed Balls will return to screens on 5 January. Balls responded to her post, saying: 'Fabulous photo, fabulous team - have loved every moment being part of it at White City.' Carol Vorderman also commented, praising the team and sending love to all.
One notable departure is Richard Gaisford, who left after 25 years on the show. He said: 'I have been privileged to have the best job in TV news for the last quarter of a century... I'm really excited about moving on to new opportunities in a fast-changing media world.'
