The 54-year-old presenter announced Wednesday’s show, telling viewers it was her last day for a while. “I will be back after half term. Good Morning Britain is back tomorrow from six, now it’s time to join Lorraine,” she said, signing off before her temporary departure. Susanna’s break coincides with the half-term holidays, a time she often sets aside to spend with her three sons—Sam, 22, Finn, 20, and Jack, 19—whom she shares with ex-partner, journalist Dominic Cotton.
She has always been open about prioritising family time. Last summer, she whisked her boys away to Ibiza and later shared a glimpse of their getaway with GMB viewers. “This summer, I took my boys to Ibiza,” she revealed. “I have been going for ten years and it was amazing to really enjoy it with my boys now they are old enough to go clubbing. We go to the day clubs together and then I go back to the hotel and they go to the nightclubs!”

It hasn’t been confirmed who will step in for Susanna while she’s away, but the GMB team has a strong lineup of potential stand-ins. Regular faces like Ranvir Singh, Kate Garraway, and Charlotte Hawkins could all be in the running to cover her absence. Susanna has been the face of Good Morning Britain since it launched in 2014, originally co-hosting alongside Piers Morgan before his dramatic departure in March 2021. She currently fronts the show from Monday to Wednesday, joined by a rotation of co-presenters.
Her career in breakfast television stretches back over two decades. She first joined BBC Breakfast in 2003 as a weekend presenter alongside Charlie Stayt before stepping into the main host role in 2012. She later made the jump to ITV, becoming one of the most recognisable morning presenters in the country.
