Susanna Reid has revealed which of her Good Morning Britain colleagues she's going to miss after confirming she was going on an extended break from the show. 

The TV host, who normally joins ITV co-star Richard Madeley on the breakfast news programme, revealed she would return to screens in 2026 earlier this week.

Appearing on Wednesday's instalment of the show, Susanna, 55, told fans she was 'saying goodbye for Christmas', adding: 'I will see you next year.' 

And shortly after, she took to Instagram, sharing a selfie with the fellow ITV member of staff that she was going to 'miss' while on her break.

Smiling alongside make-up artist Heather King, who works behind the scenes on the series, Susanna wrote: 'My amazing make up artist and friend. Going to miss you.'

It comes after Daily Mail columnist Andrew Pierce revealed he would be stepping down from the programme after a decade-long stint. 

The GB News presenter, who often appears alongside Kevin Maguire in segments of the show discussing current affairs, confirmed the news earlier this week.

Taking to social media, he said: 'It's the end of an era, after a decade of squabbling, fighting, and arguments with Kevin on Good Morning Britain, it's my last show.

'Because of the new schedules in the New Year means I can't be here for all of it, which means that's my last one, because I've got my GB News show to do.

'It's been a blast, I've had a great time on GMB, but onwards and upwards.'

Good Morning Britain is one of the shows affected by the scheduling shake-ups at ITV, which will come into play in the New Year. 

The changes to the ITV daytime shows will see Lorraine move to a 30-week schedule with episodes cut to just half an hour from 9:30 to 10am.

This Morning will continue to air for two-and-a-half hours from 10am until 12:30pm, while Good Morning Britain will be increased by 30 minutes each day.

Loose Women will continue in its usual slot from 12:30pm to 1:30pm, but episode numbers will be reduced to a 30-week 'seasonal' based schedule. 

Earlier this year, a huge Loose Women cast update has revealed the fate of every panelist after a 'tense' few months of 'everyone feeling on edge' amid the ITV daytime cuts. 

Back in May, fans were shocked to find out that the popular show, as well as Lorraine, are set to be AXED for half the year - after the channel announced a big shake up to its daytime schedule. 

It has left many wondering who will be returning, and luckily the budget cuts will not be affecting those on our screens. 

A source told The Sun: 'It’s been a tense time since the changes were announced in May and everyone has felt on edge, like they’re singing for their supper. So it’s a relief that everyone will broadly remain.

'It’s true there will be less shifts to go around but there is no intention for the cast to lose any faces.

'There will be job cuts across the daytime teams but it will be through merging production teams, not touching talent, in regards to Loose Women.'

An ITV spokesperson said: 'We always said we valued the Loose Women and that we wouldn’t be changing the panel, so viewers can look forward to seeing the familiar line up in the New Year.' 

The current presenters include Kaye Adams, 62, Ruth Langsford, 65, Christine Lampard, 46, and Charlene White, 45. 

They are joined by panelists Jane Moore, 63, Nadia Sawalha, 61, Coleen Nolan, 60, Denise Welch, 67, Janet Street-Porter, 78, Linda Robson, 67, Myleene Klass, 47, Gloria Hunniford, 85, Kelly Brook, 46, Brenda Edwards, 56, Kelle Bryan, 50, Judi Love, 45, Frankie Bridge, 36, Sunetra Sarker, 52, Katie Piper, 42, Dame Kelly Holmes, 55, Olivia Attwood, 34, Sue Cleaver, 62, Mariella Frostrup, GK Barry and Oti Mabuse.  

It's already seen one Loose Women star confirmed to be waving goodbye, as Lee Peart, who serves as a warm-up act for the live studio audience behind-the-scenes of the show, admitted the 'goodbyes were starting' now in the lead up to the final show. 

But he took to Facebook to announce that he was waving goodbye to the show as he posed for a photo with panellists Ruth Langford, Gloria Hunniford and Kellé Bryan.

Lee, a comedian and presenter, has been part of the Loose Women family since 2017, and helps get the crowd ready for the show ahead of it hitting screens on ITV. 

He confirmed that live studio audiences will have just two weeks to see him perform before the show, as he lamented it would be the 'last time' he worked alongside his panellist pals. 

He penned: 'Two weeks today will be my final Loose Women! A bittersweet end of an era… the goodbyes are starting as it's the last time I'll work with Ruth, Gloria and Kellie in this capacity!'

Lee, 35, was showered in supportive messages by his fans, who admitted they were 'gutted' to hear he was leaving the show, which airs on weekdays on ITV. 

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
