Susanna Reid left Lorraine Kelly gobsmacked as she revealed her potentially concerning habit while appearing on Good Morning Britain. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV news programme on Monday (January 23) alongside Ed Balls.
But after hosting the first edition of the show of the week, Susanna swapped the GMB studio to go and speak to Lorraine on her self-titled ITV show about sleep. It came after the 52-year-old spoke about her morning routine which sees her being woken by a 3.45am alarm clock so that she can appear on air on GMB at 6am.
She told the Daily Mail how napping is key. "I have no guilt around napping," she said. "Having a guilt-free nap is one of the enormous pleasures of my day," she added and suggested it was crucial when only getting around five hours of sleep each night.

Appearing on Lorraine on Monday morning alongisde Dr Hilary Jones, Susanna ditched her green dress for a pair of pink and white pyjamas to discuss her tips for getting enough sleep. And in the process, she shocked Lorraine and Dr Hilary with her confession.
When Lorraine suggested that she relies on caffeine to get her through her stints on GMB and asked how many she regularly drinks, Susanna admitted: "I thought it was eight cups of coffee I have, but they told me it was nine in the green room this morning."
"Nine!? Susanna! Nine!? Lorraine, 63, replied as Hilary said it was 'a lot of caffeine. "How do you have a nap with nine coffees?" Lorraine then asked as Susanna clarified: "I don't drink a full mug of coffee. It's just a few sips and they're brilliant in the green room, aren't they? They just keep them coming."
Also speaking about her naps, Susanna said: "I don't get ridged about naps, I just close my eyes and see how long it lasts. I've been getting up at 3.45 for years. I do think if you have a problem sleeping, you shouldn't obsess over it.
"I always think, if I'm in bed, I'm resting. I have to go to bed before my children because they are at that age when they stay up."
