SUSANNA REID interviewed her rumoured ex boyfriend Steve Parish on Good Morning Britain today, with many viewers taking to Twitter to discuss the 'awkward' segment. By Andrea Tonks PUBLISHED: 10.

Reid was one of the main presenters on BBC Breakfast, presenting with Bill Turnbull on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and previously presenting with Charlie Stayt on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. She held that role from 2012, when she replaced lead presenter Sian Williams.

In February 2014, it was reported that ITV were attempting to recruit Reid for their new breakfast programme, with a £1 million salary.^{[citation needed]} Reid had previously rejected claims of moving to ITV in December 2013, during her Strictly Come Dancing stint, saying she would 'bleed BBC' if cut open.^[14] On 3 March 2014, the BBC confirmed Reid's move to ITV to front rival breakfast programme Good Morning Britain, which replaced its former breakfast show Daybreak. She co-hosts the show alongside Ben Shephard every Monday to Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.^[15][16]
