Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has posted a heartfelt farewell message to colleagues as the show faces significant upheaval following ITV's announcement of a major restructure set to begin in early 2026. The broadcaster confirmed that more than 220 positions would be axed, with popular programmes like Lorraine and Loose Women facing substantial reductions.
In a social media post, Reid shared photographs of the production team and wrote: 'NEW YEAR'S EVE! A fabulous gathering of the BEST team in television @gmb and a farewell to those off to new adventures.' She confirmed that she and co-host Ed Balls will return to screens on 5 January from a new studio, as the show leaves Television Centre.
Among the notable departures is Richard Gaisford, a staple of the programme for over 25 years. 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.'
Co-star Ed Balls responded to Reid's post, calling it a 'fabulous photo, fabulous team' and recalling 'great memories (and a few mishaps too)'. Carol Vorderman also commented, praising the team and sending love to all.
