Susanna Reid was absent from 'Good Morning Britain' on Tuesday due to a family emergency, having just returned from summer break the day before. Co-presenter Ranvir Singh informed viewers that one of Susanna's sons had fallen ill overnight, prompting her to stay home with him. This unexpected absence followed a tumultuous return where she faced criticism over her outfit and had a tense moment with guest Jimmy Tarbuck, who awkwardly compared her to Piers Morgan. Susanna had previously expressed excitement about returning to work, particularly with significant news events approaching this autumn. She spent her summer vacation in Ibiza with her three sons, enjoying the experience as they are now old enough to enjoy nightlife. Viewers expressed confusion and concern over her sudden departure, highlighting her popularity on the show.
