Susanna has been a lead anchor on Good Morning Britain for numerous years. She reflected on her journey and the value of her role, stating: “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.”
