‘I Struggle Too'

It may look like she has a perfect life but Susanna Reid insists, behind the make-up, she battles like the rest of us

- Hayley Minn

Susanna Reid seems like she has life well and truly sorted; juggling her three sons, Sam, 17, Finn, 15, and 14-year-old Jack, with a busy work schedule, and always looking preened to perfection at 6am on Good Morning Britain.

But now, for the first time, the 48-year-old presenter has confessed she has all the same battles and struggles as any busy working mum, and is often kept up at night by all the same worries we have of putting on weight, covering up pesky grey hairs, and ‘keeping all those spinning plates in the air’.

PLATE JUGGLING

Susanna split from Dominic Cotton in 2014 and coparents their three boys with him. However, she confessed being a working mum leaves her stressed a lot of the time and she often can’t sleep due to ‘worrying about keeping all those spinning plates in the air’ and ‘constantly feeling a little over-committed’.

She said, ‘[I’m] a woman who adores her family and would do anything to give them the best in life, but sometimes struggles with the business of cooking meals and prepping school kit. Who also cares deeply about our society and our country — and isn’t afraid to speak her mind.
