Susanna Reid left fans ‘surprised and confused’ as she made a return to the BBC 11 years after quitting the channel’s Breakfast show.

Over the years Susanna, 54, has had a very successful career in the journalism industry, having worked for a number of the main broadcasters in the UK.

The 54-year-old is arguably best known for currently presenting ITV’s Good Morning Britain, after taking on the role in 2014.

But some may have forgotten that she also used to work for one of ITV’s rival channels.

Susanna presented BBC Breakfast alongside Bill Turnbull, 66, and Charlie Stayt, 63, between 2001 and 2014.

And on Sunday she returned to take part in a panel with Laura Kuenssberg, 48.

Susanna shared as snap of the day on Instagram and captioned the post: ‘SUNDAY! Always fantastic to be on @bbclaurak back at the BBC, this morning with @danielkebede and James Harding @theobserveruk @oversnap

‘Back @gmb tomorrow!’

Many rushed to the comments section to share how much they loved her being back on our screens on a Sunday – as she usually presents GMB Monday to Wednesdays, as well as an alternative Thursday between 6am and 9am.

‘Nice one…’

‘Yes I watched it just because you was on it.’

‘A nice surprise this morning! Usually guests are a bit boring!’

‘Nice to see you on TV this morning and on the Beeb back on itv in the morning – busy life.’

‘How much do you miss working at the BBC?’

‘You were brilliant Susanna and it was great to see you on a Sunday.’

BBC Breakfast isn’t the only show she worked on with the broadcaster.

Between 2010 and 2011 Susanna was also the presenter of BBC One’s Sunday Morning Live.

She joined the Beeb in back in 1994 as a news producer for BBC Radio Bristol.

She later joined Radio 5 Live.

Susanna presented BBC Breakfast alongside Bill between Monday and Wednesday.

The star also hosted alongside Charlie on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

It comes after Carol Kirkwood defiantly hit back at critics after waves of ‘dreadful abuse’ from BBC Breakfast viewers.

The 63-year-old has been a staple of the long-running breakfast programme, having joined all the way back in 1997.

Despite gathering a large and loyal fan base, Carol has revealed she’s been subjected to twisted trolls on social media.

However, the presenter who is also an author, has said it no longer bothers her, branding it ‘water off a duck’s back’.

Speaking to Radio Times, Carol said: ‘I am what I am, and I don’t really care what anybody thinks of me.

‘And in that sense, whether I’m a “weather girl” or a “weather presenter” or a “broadcast meteorologist” doesn’t really bother me.

‘I’m just doing my job to the best of my ability and hopefully improving myself on a daily basis, whether people think I’m capable or not. Titles don’t really matter.’

Addressing her trolls and the ‘dreadful things’ they’ve said to her, she hit back: ‘That’s water off a duck’s back to me now.

‘Or maybe that should be heavy rain off a duck’s back?’
