After the video aired, Susanna thanked her co-stars, past and present.
“Thanks to everybody else who’s been involved on the journey along the way and to all the individuals that have sat next to me because you don’t do this alone in British television so it’s fantastic to have you here,” she said.
“Obviously, it’s very emotional to see Bill [Turnbill] because we’ve lost him and that remains very painful because he taught me everything I know about presenting,” Susanna continued.
“But there are some wonderful characters that I’ve presented with who are fantastic… working alongside Ben [Shepherd] and Charlie [Stayt], and then Piers [Morgan]…,” she then added.
Susanna also claimed that her interview with Boris Johnson in May 2022 as one of her best moments in her presenting career.
