Susanna Reid has been flooded with support and praise as she admitted to feeling 'overwhelmed' over her latest achievement. The Good Morning Britain star was able to enjoy the Royal Television Society's latest awards on Wednesday night (February 28) knowing she didn't have to be up for a stint on the ITV news programme the next day.
And it was a good job as Susanna, 52, had some celebrating to do after she was named Network Presenter of the Year at the RTS's Television Journalism Awards 2024. Not only that, Susanna was the host of the event, at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
