Good Morning Britain presenter shake-up as Susanna Reid comes in on her day off – leaving fans confused
GOOD Morning Britain viewers were left confused today as Susanna Reid stepped in on her day off with Ed Balls.
Kate Garraway usually appears as the main presenter on Thursdays and Fridays on the ITV breakfast show.
Susanna, 53, was on the front desk instead to host alongside former politician Ed Balls.
People at home questioned what day it was after seeing Susanna, who usually clocks off at 10am on Wednesdays.
One said: “Susanna & Ed look like they’ve gone to the wrong address this morning. Dazed and a bit odd.”
Another impressed viewer tweeted: “Who but my Susanna would sacrifice her day off for the sake of the viewers? so amazeballs!”
The show had gathered their top presenters to cover the local elections.
Kate was tasked with explaining the results as they poured in across England.
Susanna and Ed steered the ship on the main desk after the country headed to the ballot boxes on Thursday night.
They asked viewers to get in touch if they’d encountered any problems at the polling stations – after Boris Johnson was turned away last night.
Kate also hosted regular news bulletins and Richard Arnold was on duty to offer some light relief with a showbiz news round-up.
He revealed the upcoming TV Bafta Awards will be hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan.
Earlier this year, former Labour politician Ed was left red-faced following a painful mishap on air.
Susanna and Ed were discussing uncomfortable aeroplanes seats.
Ed sat behind Susanna in seats brought into the studio, and while trying to get cosy he kicked her in the head.
