Susanna Victoria Reid (born 10 December 1970) is an English journalist and presenter best known as the co-presenter of BBC Breakfast from 2003 until her departure in early 2014. Having started out as an anchor woman, presenting news face on, it was not until 2006 that Susanna finally came into the more mainstream spotlight when she began to appear on the sofa on BBC Breakfast - now interviewing celebrities, and taking part in more viewer-friendly tasks.
Since April 2014, Reid has co-presented the ITV Breakfast programme Good Morning Britain with Ben Shephard. In November 2015, Piers Morgan joined the team and now presents alongside Reid every Monday to Wednesday.
The youngest of three children, Reid was born in Croydon, south London. She was educated at the independent Croham Hurst School, from 1975 to 1981, followed by the independent Croydon High School (1981–87) and St Paul's Girls' School (1987–89) in London. Her parents separated and divorced when she was aged 9. Her father was a management consultant, her mother, who was born in 1941, worked as a nurse. Reid studied Politics, Philosophy and Law at the University of Bristol (1989–92), where she was editor of Epigram, the student newspaper, which was short-listed in 1991 as "Best Student Newspaper" in The Guardian/NUS student journalism awards. She then undertook a Postgraduate Diploma in Broadcast Journalism at the Cardiff School of Journalism.
Reid appeared as an actress while an adolescent, in a stage production of Agatha Christie's Spider's Web (1982) with Shirley-Anne Field, and then alongside Peter Barkworth and Harriet Walter in The Price (1985) on Channel 4.
