Just over a decade ago Susanna Reid was relatively unknown, despite hosting BBC Breakfast alongside the late Bill Turnbull. But after her stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, where she was a runner-up in the final with pro partner Kevin Clifton, she joined Good Morning Britain and is now a household name, boasting well over a million followers on social media. Susanna, now 53, recently told woman&home how Strictly ‘changed her life’, explaining, ‘[It] led me to Good Morning Britain. It gave me that nudge outside my comfort zone and made people see me in a different way.’
In the interview, Susanna, who is mum to sons Sam, 21, Finn, 19 and Jack, 18, opened up about her fear of empty nest syndrome, how entering her 50s has empowered her and why she’s so grateful to Piers Morgan.
