Susanna, 51, thanked her colleagues as she revealed the break and that it would be her last show for a while.
She said: “I am off on holiday – today is my last day for the summer, so…”
Ed interjected: “Are you renting a beach hut?”
Susanna then replied: “I may be. I may be. I just want to say goodbye to everybody, but I leave you in the capable hands of this team for the entire summer. I am not off yet for another 43 minutes, so…”
Her announcement comes after co-star Richard Madeley also admitted that he will be off for a while in summer, and that his future on the breakfast show isn’t certain.
He said: “Since Piers left, as you know, his chair has been a kind of rotating gig and all sorts of presenters have come in and done it.
“It is true that of late I’ve kind of risen to the top of that pile I suppose. But I don’t know for how long as I’m on quite a short contract.”
Richard continued: “I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’ve got quite a big break in the summer, I’m going to France and then I’ll be back quite a lot in the autumn.”
Susanna has previously listed all of her stand-in male co-hosts since piers departure whilst joking about the rotation of presenters.
She said: “There’s my good friend Rob Rinder, I’m normally out in Ibiza with him. There’s Ed Balls, who we know of course. Alistair Campbell as well. Richard Madeley, Adil Ray, Bill Turnbull, Richard Bacon, Martin Lewis. Where does it stop?”
