Susanna Reid, 48, has opened up about her aim to conceal grey hairs from Good Morning Britain viewers. The presenter insists she strives to maintain her youthful brunette locks with regular visits to the hairdressers. Susanna admitted a former producer once warned her about hiding grey strands while on camera. Addressing the issue in her first column for the Daily Mail, the star said she often reminds herself of her beauty regime in the evenings before going to sleep.
She explained: “I’m mentally checking my calendar: is my weekly spray tan booked in at a time when I won’t need to cook a family meal straight afterwards and get tanning goo all over my kitchen?
“When do I need to get my roots done next? (A former producer once gravely warned me ‘no greys on air’ – and I’ve taken it to heart.)”
The mum-of-three also revealed she is currently concerned about weight gain after losing almost two stone last summer.
She added in reference to her “late-night musings”: “Have I ordered the soft, brown loaf my three teenage boys love in the weekly online shop, and if not, have I missed the deadline for adding it to my order?
“Thoughts of bread inevitably lead me to consider whether I need to lose a few pounds again, since I lost almost 2st last summer.
“And to wonder if the cheese I can’t stop eating is to blame – for weight gain and for the recent nightmares from which I wake with a start.”
Reflecting on the incident, Susanna recalled the mishap with her dress was fortunately spotted by her co-host Kate Garraway, 52, just before they went on air.
She said: “Two minutes before going live, the editor was doing a rehearsal of the headlines when my co-presenter dropped a bombshell. ‘I can see your bra,’ Kate said.
“Under the beaming studio lights, my chic red dress had gone transparent. Eeek! My bra should not be making headlines!”(sic)
Susanna added: “I nipped into my dressing room, slipped on a blue shirt-dress meant for the next day’s programme and was back at the desk before you could ask: ‘Is the UK ever going to leave the EU?’”
