GMB's Susanna Reid shares details as she prepares to ditch UK
Good Morning Britain star Susanna Reid and co-host Ed Balls are about to leave the UK behind. Susanna, 53, has fronted GMB since 2014, when she made the move from the BBC to ITV.
In that time she has appeared alongside a number of co-presenters including Ben Shephard and Richard Madeley, and of late she has appeared on our screens next to Ed Balls for the morning programme. In a new interview, Susanna has detailed how she and Ed are about to swap the UK for the USA.
Speaking to Radio Times, she said: “Ed Balls and I are flying straight out to Washington DC after hosting Good Morning Britain on Monday 4 November. We’ll be soaking up the atmosphere. Then we’ll be on the ground, presenting the election results programme on the Wednesday morning.”

She continued: “It’ll be one of those weeks where sleep takes a backseat. There are some stories where the adrenaline and cortisone just stream through your body!” Speaking about co-host Ed, she added: “He’s steeped in politics, a political veteran even at his very young age!
“He’s not just an expert on British politics – he’s a senior fellow at Harvard, so an expert on American politics, too. He’ll bring an experienced eye to our coverage.” ITV’s election coverage will be led by Tom Bradby, who is presenting Harris V Trump: The Results from 10.45pm on ITV1 and ITVX on November 5.
He will be joined by correspondent Robert Moore and ITV News’ deputy political editor Anushka Asthana. GMB will be live from Washington DC on November 6 and 7.
