GMB star Susanna Reid has opened up about her lockdown weight gain, saying she can’t fit into her old dress.
Speaking on today’s episode of the ITV breakfast show (Thursday April 22), the 50-year-old star commented on an image from 2019.
And she was at pains to let viewers know that the image showed her before she put on some pounds during the lockdown of 2020.
What did GMB host Susanna Reid say?

As the team discussed her nomination, Susanna said: “I am not going to slip into that dress again!”

Susanna’s appearance was also a hot topic this week when she returned to work after the Easter break.
Debuting shorter hair and highlights on Monday (April 19), she made a playful dig at co-host Adil for not mentioning the new ‘do.
“I was coming to that! I didn’t want to start off with the hair!” he chuckled.
“Thank you very much! But I forced you to say it,” she replied.
