Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Susanna Reid has made a work announcement on the latest episode of Good Morning Britain.

The presenter, who co-hosts the ITV breakfast show alongside a rotating list of presenters, told viewers on Wednesday (13 July) that she will be taking a break for the summer.

Reid thanked the hosts who will step in to replace her while she goes on holiday.

It is standard practice for presenters of ITV’s breakfast shows to go on a break for the summer. For example, This Morning’s Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are already on their respective holidays.

Earlier this year, Reid revealed that she had come to a “decision” regarding her presenting profession.

The TV host has been a permanent fixture on GMB since 2014, having previously hosted BBC Breakfast.

In recent years, Reid has also undertaken several projects away from her role on the ITV series, including several TV documentaries, as well as being the stand-in for fellow presenters on other shows, including Lorraine and Loose Women.

But, Reid says that she now plans to reserve some time for her three sons, Sam, 19, Finn, 17, and Jack, 16, as she feels it’s important for her to be “present” while they undertake important life events, including exams.

Reid will return to GMB later this year.
