SUSANNA Reid has revealed she’s healed a rift with Piers Morgan but admitted it was a ‘turbulent time and a massive shock’ when he quit Good Morning Britain.
Piers, 61, co-hosted the ITV morning show with Susanna, 55, from 2015 until 2021, when he left the show with immediate effect following an on-air debate about Meghan Markle.

Susanna has continued to present Good Morning Britain, and in a new interview with Woman&Home magazine, she opened up about her relationship with Piers.
She said: “I’m lucky to call Piers Morgan a friend. We went through a rough patch when he left GMB – it was a turbulent time and a massiveshock.

“But we spoke very quickly afterwards because our friendship meant a lot to both of us and still does.”
She continued: “We used to have the fiercest arguments on- and off-air, but they toughened me up, and made me a better journalist and presenter.

“I am grateful for that and for our ongoing friendship. Piers also throws the best Christmas parties!”
Susanna is the cover star for the magazine’s centenary issue, and looks incredible in a series of pink cocktail dresses.
However, when it comes to actual cocktails, Susanna would rather have a cup of tea, having given up drinking in 2018.
She only drinks on special occasions but said: “Ninety-nine per cent of the time I’m not drinking, and I think my body has become conditioned so now says, ‘For the one per cent of the time you think you can drink, think again, lady.’
“I love to party, so I will be celebrating woman&home’s 100 years with a cup of tea and a slice of cake.”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
The Centenary November issue of Woman&Home is on sale from September 24.
