Susanna Reid was forced to change her clothes at the last minute on Good Morning Britain after a wardrobe malfunction

Susanna Reid was forced to change her clothes at the last minute on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday after suffering a wardrobe malfunction.

The 52-year-old TV presenter had just minutes before her start when her director informed her that the pink dress she had chosen was blending into the background.

Susanna then changed into a red dress, but had another mishap when the second dress “ripped open” on her chest.

She was forced to rely on a clasp to secure the ensemble and make sure she was sufficiently covered.

While reading the news, Susanna had her dress held up while someone from the wardrobe team pinned the front.

Susanna joked that she didn’t want to do an Aubrey Plaza, who grabbed headlines when she arrived at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night in a daring gold gown that barely contained her cleavage.

Susanna revealed: ‘I had a bit of an outfit, wardrobe crisis this morning. I wore an outfit that seemed to blend into the background, so the director with two minutes to spare said, ‘Is there anything else in your wardrobe?’

So at two minutes to six, I went into the closet, found this, didn’t realize it needed to be buttoned up a bit more. It was a last minute cover job!

His co-star Ed Balls added, “I’ve never read a news headline from the autocue while at the same time trying to unbutton you in the back!”

It comes after Susanna revealed that there’s a lot going on behind the scenes before viewers see her appear on ITV’s Good Morning Britain on weekdays at 6am.

She offered a rundown of what an average day looks like for her during an interview with sunday times magazine, which begins with a 3:40 am wake-up call from your alarm clock.

Susanna revealed that she takes five minutes in bed to review her emails and the day’s headlines before getting up to start her day.

The mother-of-three said the start of her day is quite rushed, as she throws on a coat over her pajamas and brushes her teeth before getting into the car, which has been sent to take her to the studio.

Time in the car is put to great use, catching up on newspapers and interviewee reports due on the show that day.

Susanna also takes the time to review the stories that the investigators and producers have been putting together overnight.

He explained that the most important document he reviews on the trip is what is known as the Grid, which provides key times and points for the show.

Susanna admitted that it’s “a lot” to take in during the 25-minute drive from her home to the studio at the London Television Center in west London.

Confessing that she loves her early hours, Susanna said: ‘My three children split their time between me and my ex. The brilliant thing about my job is that a lot of my workday is when they’re still sleeping and I’m home when they get back from school or work.’

Once in the studio, Susanna sits down to have her hair and makeup done by a professional, while she drinks her first coffee of the day at 4:25.

She said that during this time she also continues to catch up on any reading for the show.

Susanna added that she will then be joined by the show’s nightly editor, as well as her co-host for that particular day.

His co-stars are Richard Madeley, Ed Balls, Rob Rinder, Martin Lewis, Ben Shephard and Adil Ray.

He joked as Bruce Forsyth used to say, they are all his favorites.

Susanna doesn’t manage to eat before the show, but revealed that she tries to sneak in some sliced ​​apple and sunflower seed butter during commercials.

Once the cameras stop rolling, Susanna heads home and tries to get a couple of hours of sleep before getting up for lunch.

She said she tries to have a healthy option like grilled fish and vegetables.

In the evening, Susanna relaxes by cooking a home-cooked meal for her children, which she says is usually something like lasagna or a roast.

This time, however, it’s not for complete relaxation, as he normally receives new reports and catches up with his editor on the next day’s schedule.

While her lifestyle works perfectly now, Susanna admitted that she worries about what it will be like when her children leave home.

She said: ‘My mornings are intense with the adrenaline rush of live news, so switching off is hard. I’m perfectly happy with my own company: I talk to people all day, I have a great team, and I love my close-knit family.

When the children leave home, I know it will be a challenge.’

Susanna said she ends her day by watching a little TV, “nothing scary” and enjoys taking a bath to relax before lights out at 10 p.m.

Good Morning Britain is Monday to Friday from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX
