Susanna Reid looks OLDER in BBC photo from 20 years ago


She presents ITV’s breakfast show Good Morning Britain with Piers Morgan, waking up each day at 3.45am.

But Susanna Reid has left fans stunned by sharing a throwback clip of herself presenting BBC News 20 years ago in which she looks older than she does now.

The presenter, 49, looked almost unrecognisable sporting a short ear-length haircut in a lilac jewel neckline jacket.

Susanna also appeared to take on a much sterner persona than on her GMB slot with co-host Piers. 

Her style has changed dramatically since the early 2000s, now wearing her gorgeous locks down over her shoulders and looking effortlessly glamorous with her colourful wardrobe.

‘If I am not mistaken, this was my very first national news bulletin for BBC TV 20 years ago,’ said Susanna in the post. 

Wow: Prompting a strong reaction, many fans claimed Susanna looks younger now than she did in 2000, when she was 29-years old

The video, which was shot in 2000, amazed followers who complimented the presenter on looking younger now than at the start of the millenium.

Kate Chapman said: ‘You look so much younger now!’

Susan Curran added: ‘You haven’t aged one bit you look fantastic.’

Another person joked that she must be related to Benjamin Button – as she was ‘ageing backwards’.

Two others commented on her short dark locks, comparing her style to a ‘lego figure’, as well as former Liverpool footballer Alan Hansen’s hairdo. 

Last year Susanna spoke to the Mail about taking up healthier lifestyle choices as she approaches 50, revealing that she gave up booze over a year because she had had enough ‘hangxiety.’ 

Consummate pro: Despite her experience with live TV at the time, Susanna looked completely assured as she delivered her first bulletin for the broadcasting giant in 2000

‘I never drank when I was working, but, on nights off, I’d have a couple of glasses of wine. And Piers and I would have these big nights out at the Groucho Club in Soho, which were wonderful.

‘But I haven’t done one of those since I stopped drinking. Basically, I’m a lot less fun now — as Piers tells me all the time.’

What annoyed Susanna — and makes her determined to stay sober now — was a recent photograph of her, eyes closed, leaving the GQ Men of the Year Awards, leading some to conclude that she was off the wagon for good.

‘When you come out of these things, you have 20 photographers flashing cameras and, at some point, you have to close your eyes because you don’t want the flash in your face.

‘The impression they gave was that I’d had a drink, when I hadn’t had a drop. I don’t want people thinking I’m unprofessional.

‘So perhaps it’s best to stop altogether. That way, when a picture such as that comes out, I can say: “I don’t drink at all, ever.”’
