Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid has admitted she is ‘savouring every moment in television’ as she revealed her worries that Artificial Intelligence (AI) may replace her role.
In a glamorous cover shoot for the centenary issue of lifestyle magazine woman&home, Susanna, 55, confessed her concerns over the ‘advent of AI’ and how it will impact the authenticity of breakfast television, which is tailored to entertain and inform millions each morning.
The presenter said: ‘We disappear into our own algorithms – people just want their own interests and it worries me.
‘If we have an AI version of super-highly tailored news, you would lose that sense of ‘I didn’t realise I wanted to know about that’ or ‘That didn’t occur to me.’
But ever the optimist, Susanna is a key believer in leaning into the challenge of change and making it work whatever the initial setbacks may be.
‘My generation’s time of life is a constant period of flux and change. We have ageing parents and growing children. We’re not stuck. We have to adapt all the time and be flexible.’

Turning to the future, Susanna is holding on tight to her current role, which she landed in 2014, and doesn’t like to think beyond presenting GMB – other than the prospect of her own podcast one day.
‘I won’t until the moment someone says, “Thanks very much. You can have a lie-in tomorrow!” It’s very important to accept that you’re not going to work forever at a particular job.
‘For whatever reason, things change. There will always be other things.’
For the shoot, celebrating 100 years of woman&home, Susanna stunned in an array of pink outfits, including a feather dress and a satin gown.
And five years on from her 50th birthday, Susanna has ‘completely reframed’ her body image mindset and said: ‘One of the biggest things I’ve stopped worrying about is my weight.’
Following her time on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, when training eight hours daily resulted in her feeling ‘fantastic’ at her ‘slimmest and fittest,’ Susanna is no longer hung up on the scales.
Post menopause, Susanna’s mindset now consists of acknowledging that: ‘As long as I am healthy, exercising, walking regularly, and eating fresh fruit and vegetables, I think, “I am what I am.”‘
In the ITN offices, the TV star can be found snacking on apple slices and sunflower seed butter as an alternative to peanut butter, and she often fuels her morning show with scrambled eggs, avocados, natural yogurt or fruit.

Would you trust AI to tell you the news, or is the human touch irreplaceable on TV?

Over the last year, a key lifestyle switch Susanna has made is incorporating ten minutes of exercise into her everyday routine.
Susanna keeps weights in her bedroom and follows a YouTube routine in her pyjamas either after her afternoon nap or in the morning when she isn’t working.
Not only has the change benefitted her mood, and she has adopted a new motto: ‘An object in motion stays in motion. An object at rest stays at rest.’ but it has also stopped her procrastinating.
‘Once I exercise, I want to do my chores or take something back to the post office that I’ve been delaying for a week.’

Reflecting on these changes, Susanna added: ‘I listen to my body a lot more than I used to.’
The presenter can ‘totally relate’ to entrepreneur Steven Bartlett’s controversial claim that one drink can set you back three days.
After she stopped drinking regularly back in 2018, Susanna occasionally indulges in ‘the odd Paloma’.
Recently, after her beloved football team Crystal Palace won the UEFA Conference League final, she celebrated with ‘one small drink’ and regretted it when she ‘felt like poison for a few days’.
‘Ninety-nine per cent of the time I’m not drinking, and I think my body has become conditioned.’
Staying true to her love of a party, Susanna will be celebrating her cover shoot release with a cup of tea and a slice of cake.
