Privacy NoticeIn a candid moment on Wednesday’s Good Morning Britain, Susanna Reid shared her harrowing experience of being mugged, leaving viewers in shock. During the episode on 4 September, Susanna delved into her past trauma, recounting to the ITV audience: “About 25 years ago, I had my handbag cut off of me by a mugger. You do feel very shaken, not just for the day or the 24 hours but for quite a long period of time.” The discussion widened to include guests’ experiences with crime. According to Express, Andrew Pierce also recounted an attack he suffered, recalling the moment he was violently robbed of his phone: “They just whacked me in the street. It was in my hand and it was a salutary lesson. I very rarely now.”

Susanna’s co-host Ed Balls tried to lighten the mood amidst the serious conversation, joking: “Were they trying to steal your phone or just to whack you?”. Susanna didn’t seem to appreciate the quip, giving a sympathetic sound, while Andrew speculated that his attacker probably didn’t know who he was, saying: “They came from behind. But that’s why I’m also very agitated about these electric modified bikes”, reports the Mirror . It comes after Susanna’s notable absence from the show on Tuesday (3 September). She had just returned to GMB on Monday after a lengthy summer break where she spent time in Ibiza with her three children. She shares three three sons, Sam, Finn and Jack with her ex-husband Dominic Cotton.

But Susanna unexpectedly missed her second show back. Ranvir Singh stepped in as the show kicked off, sharing that Susanna had to rush off due to her son falling ill overnight. The GMB audience was reassured when Susanna made her comeback alongside Ed Balls on Wednesday’s show. Twitter was abuzz with fan reactions, as one person said: “What a double act. Keep it going.” Another wrote: “Good to see you back this morning Susanna, hope everything’s ok.” And another viewer commented: “Susanna back on duty after yesterday’s family emergency – such a trooper!”

It’s no surprise Susanna returned considering that she told ITV before her comeback that she “loves her job” and had been “avidly watching GMB” during her time away from the show. She even confessed how she liked the early morning wakeup calls and that her “body clock” is so used to them that she wakes up at 3.40am – even during the summer.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
