More About Susanna Reid

Croydon-born Susanna started her public career at the age of 12, starring in a stage production of Agatha Christie’s Spider’s Web (1982), before moving to television in The Price (1985) on Channel 4. Reluctant to continue on an acting path, Susanna went to Bristol University in 1989 where she studied politics and philosophy, before training as a journalist at Cardiff University’s Centre for Journalism.

Susanna started her presenting career on BBC Radio Bristol before becoming a popular reporter for Radio 5 Live. In 2003, after the regular presenter failed to show up, a heavily-pregnant Susanna became a stand-in host for BBC News 24, which quickly turned into a permanent position. Up until 2014, Susanna was best known for presenting BBC Breakfast on BBC1 alongside Bill Turnball. In 2014, Susanna moved from the BBC to ITV to front breakfast programme Good Morning Britain, which replaced its former breakfast show Daybreak (2010-2014). She co-hosts the show with a number of different male presenters such as Richard Madeley, Adil Ray, Alex Beresford, Richard Bacon, and Alistair Campbell. Susanna and Piers Morgan, her co-presenter for six years, featured in a 2018 episode of Hollyoaks (1995-) as themselves.

Susanna has often had to step into the host’s chair, in the short-term and the long-term, and temporarily replaced Andrew Marr as the host for the Andrew Marr Show (2005-2021) in 2013 following his stroke.

Susanna is a popular face on our screens, fronting a number of television shows including Sunday Morning Live (2010-), The Politics Show (2003-2011), Breakfast with Frost (1993-), the 2009 and 2020 Oscars (2009; 2010), and the 2013 New Year Live (2013) alongside Gary Barlow. She has also participated in panel shows and reality shows such as Pointless (2009-), Tipping Point (2012-), Saturday Kitchen (2001-), Save Money: Good Food (2017) alongside Matt Tebbutt, and Celebrity Gogglebox (2013-) alongside Robert Rinder. She has also turned her hand to documentary presenting, most notably looking into a real-life murder case in The Murder of Becky Watts (2017).
