Susanna Reid pulls out of Good Morning Britain at the last minute after family emergency

Susanna Reid pulled out of Good Morning Britain today due to a family emergency.

The ITV host, 53, had just returned to the early morning programme after taking a summer break, but was forced to drop out.

Filling in for her spot, alongside co-presenter Ed Balls, Ranvir Singh explained: ‘You’ll be wondering where Susanna is, one of her boys has been taken ill overnight and she needed to stay with him, so we are here for you this morning.’

Viewers who missed the first few minutes of the show however shared their concern on social media, with @domain_harry writing: ‘Gutted there’s no Susanna today.’

What happened to Susanna?’ @wrinklytimelord added.

Marking her return to screens on Monday, Susanna wrote on Instagram: ‘GOOD TO BE BACK!’ as she made light of Jimmy Tarbuck calling her ‘Piers Morgan in a wig.’

You decide!’ she wrote.

This comes after Susanna revealed she’d spent some of her summer holiday with her sons in Ibiza.

She said: ‘I’ve been going for ten years and it was amazing to really enjoy it with my boys now they are old enough to go clubbing.

‘We go to the day clubs together and then I go back to the hotel and they go to the nightclubs!’

Susanna, who largely keeps her private and family life out of the spotlight, has three sons with ex-partner Dominic Cotton.

They were together for 16 years, but announced their split in 2014.
