Television presenter Susanna Reid recently provided an update on her health following a brief absence from her role on Good Morning Britain. The 55-year-old ITV personality revealed she is experiencing vertigo, describing the sensation as feeling like “everything is spinning,” as she made her return alongside co-host Ed Balls.
Reid took to the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, sharing a studio selfie with Balls. She captioned the image: “BACK IN THE STUDIO! After a lovely break, we are back and I have mild vertigo so everything is spinning – let me know any tips for regaining my balance. Steady @edballs is standing by in case I tip over.” On the air, she further explained, “It is good to be back in the studio after a nice week off, but I have to warn you, I have vertigo. Which means that everything is spinning. It’s a very strange experience. It feels like I drank too much last night, but as you know I don’t drink.”
The NHS describes vertigo as a sensation where either you or your environment seems to be moving or spinning, which can significantly impact balance. This condition is more than just a feeling of dizziness.
Vertigo attacks can range from a few seconds to several hours, and in severe cases, the sensation can persist for days or even months. Fortunately, most individuals recover from vertigo without needing treatment.
Following her update, fans expressed their joy at seeing Susanna back in her usual spot, extending their well-wishes for her recovery.
“Good to see you back Ms Reid, on TV this morning, sharing a news platform with Mr Balls,” one wrote.

Another added: “Good morning, have a beautiful, happy Monday. Great to have you back, Susanna. I just hope your spinning just stops, absolutely fabulous, lovely picture, lovely.”
“Just remember you’re paid £1,100,000 a year by the ITV Network for working three mornings a week. That’ll calm your nerves. Oh, and it’s only a few weeks before you’ll be heading off for another lovely break at Easter.”
At the end of the programme on February 11, she told fans: “Good Morning Britain back from 6am tomorrow, and now it’s time for Lorraine. And I’ll see you after half- term”.
