Good Morning Britain was thrown into chaos this morning, leaving Susanna Reid shocked.

Susanna was presenting the breakfast show live this morning alongside her co-host Ed Balls, as they discussed the latest stories from the election trail as well as Jack Fowler’s recent experience where he was given nuts on a flight despite being severely allergic.

As they discussed the important topics, Susanna became distracted by a fly who had been in the studio all morning. It flew around her before settling on the desk, and in a quick turn of events, Ed banged his hand on the table and killed it.

Fans couldn’t believe Ed’s skills and took to social media to praise him. One wrote: “Got to say, I think GMB have nailed the co-anchor issue in @edballs. Took a while to grow on me, but a perfect replacement for Piers (who I liked also). Well done @GMB,” whilst a second added: “VAR to see if he really ed got that fly in seconds #GMB.” A third penned: “Bets on how quick some1 screeches for @edballs to be cancelled for swatting that fly!”

Another added: “I do love Susanna & Ed #GMB,” whilst a fourth wrote: “When Ed said ‘can I just say, it’s a fly not a cow’ cover your back #gmb #goodmorningbritain,” referencing the story of the calf that was on the loose.

Susanna has been an anchor on Good Morning Britain for several years. Speaking about how much the job means to her, she said: “I’m a stick of rock with Good Morning Britain running through me.

“I’ll be at GMB until they decide they don’t want me anymore. I love it. Honestly, there is no better job in broadcasting. Every day, you turn up at the same time and finish at the same time. But what happens between 6am and 9am is always different. It’s so dynamic. You feel like you’ve had a workout every morning. You can do anything once you’ve presented Good Morning Britain.”

Since Piers Morgan quit the show, Susanna usually presents alongside Ed Balls and Richard Madeley. Speaking about her co-hosts, she added: “Honestly, I love them both. I love going to work every day because it’s never the same. And Richard and Ed bring such brilliant qualities to the program. Ed knows everything about how the political system works, so he can explain the mechanisms, the intricacies of a world we just can see from the outside. And then, Richard has boundless enthusiasm.

“He’s just so interested in everything, just has such energy. And is a unique broadcaster, I think we would acknowledge. Viewers just love him. He’s a legend. I love how it’s working at the moment. Nobody gets bored with each other.”
