Fans of the popular morning programme Good Morning Britain expressed their delight as familiar hosts made a welcome return to the ITV show following a brief break over the Easter holidays. Susanna Reid and Ed Balls resumed their presenting duties on Monday morning, April 14, after last appearing together on the programme on Wednesday, March 25.
Behind-the-Scenes Glimpse of the Comeback
In the lead-up to the live broadcast, Susanna Reid shared an engaging behind-the-scenes video on her Instagram account, capturing her entrance into the studio. The clip featured a cheerful interaction with co-host Kate Garraway, who immediately commented on Susanna's fresh new hairstyle. As Susanna walked onto the set, she greeted viewers with, "Come in with me! We're back in the studio, and Kate's already here. Morning all, how are we?" Kate responded warmly, "Morning, ooh and a nice hair chop!"
Social Media Buzz and Fan Reactions
Susanna also posted a photograph of herself and Ed Balls smiling for the camera, alongside another image showing Kate next to a camera operator. She captioned the post enthusiastically, "WE'RE BACK! Great to return to the @gmb studio this morning @edballs @kategarraway after a lovely Easter break. Look forward to seeing you all! Camerawork by Floor Manager @chloeoakes1."
The response from followers was swift and overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their joy at seeing Susanna back on screen. One fan remarked, "So good to see you back, looking FRESH, Susanna," while another wrote, "Good morning Susanna, lovely to have you back." Additional comments included praise such as "Looking fantastic as always, Susanna" and "Great to have you back on the TV, missed you, welcome back Susanna." One viewer even highlighted, "There she is. Glad to have you back. Best kick-a** morning anchor woman there is. (And Kate)."
Fill-In Hosts During the Absence
During the period when Susanna Reid and Ed Balls were away, Good Morning Britain featured a rotation of substitute presenters to keep the show running smoothly. Viewers saw familiar faces like Rob Rinder, Ranvir Singh, Charlotte Hawkins, Paul Brand, and Adil Ray stepping in to host the programme in their place.
Other ITV Personalities Still on Break
While Susanna and Ed have returned to their roles, other well-known ITV figures remain off air. Lorraine Kelly and the Loose Women panel confirmed they would be taking a break "for a few weeks" starting in early March, though no specific return date has been provided. This absence coincides with recent announcements that both shows will now broadcast for 30 weeks per year instead of the usual 52-week schedule.
Good Morning Britain continues to air weekdays on ITV, starting at 6am, offering viewers their daily dose of news, entertainment, and lively discussions.
