It came after Susanna wrapped a segment about Good Morning Britain’s annual One Million Minutes campaign, which asks listeners to donate their time – not cash – to a needy cause.

The hugely-popular initiative – which has been backed by many a famous face – aims to combat loneliness and this year has teamed up with organisations including including Alzheimer’s Research UK, Winston’s Wish, Re-engage, Royal Voluntary Service, Home-Start UK and The Chatty Cafe Scheme.

The mum of three said: “We have a special programme on Christmas Day.

“But this is my last chance to say thank you to you before Christmas, because its my last programme before Christmas Day and we have got to 124million minutes pledged.”

Later on in Wednesday’s episode, she wished viewers a “happy Christmas” and said: “See you on Christmas Day.”

Her co host Richard Madeley, 68, then added: “I will see you tomorrow.”

An ITV spokesperson was first to tell The Sun of the re-jigged line-up and said: “It will be a mixture of Kate Garraway and Charlotte Hawkins presenting over the Christmas period.

“Susanna Reid and Ed Balls will present on Christmas Day.”

Yet she is no stranger to putting in a shift after Santa’s visit, with GMB, featuring in the show’s festive episode back in 2022.

It came after the weekday series was scrapped between Christmas and New Year in 2021 during the Coronavirus pandemic.

NEW LOOK

Yet during 2024, fans have been left stunned by Susanna’s new look.

The re-vamp has seen the former BBC Breakfast presenter opt for weekly spray tans and a GMB wardrobe overhaul.

Susanna opened up about her regime in a Daily Mail column a few years ago.

She said: “From Monday to Thursday, I have the Good Morning Britain glam squad at work making me look my best.

“Amy blow-dries the frizz from my hair, while Heather or Mel work on my face.

“They breeze into my dressing room, rolling suitcases of lotions and potions, ready to mask my blemishes and lines while I read the newspapers and briefing notes.”

She added: “I also have a weekly spray tan and dye my roots fortnightly.

“It’s a case of faking it to make it, and I’m OK with that. I’m all for making ourselves look good — as long as we feel good, too.

“Feeling under pressure to look the same means we’ve gone too far.”
