Susanna Reid reveals she is ‘really sad’ as her sons prepare to leave home

Susanna Reid revealed she is ‘really sad’ and ‘cries her heart out’ as her youngest son prepares to leave the family home for college.

The Good Morning Britain presenter, 51, decided last year not to take any more TV jobs so she could be there for her children in their final years of education.

The journalist, who shares three children, Sam, 20, Finn, 18 and Jack, 17, with her ex-partner Dominic Cotton, instead, is making the most of every moment with her children.

Upset: Susanna Reid revealed she’s ‘really sad’ and ‘cries her heart out’ as her youngest son prepares to leave the family home for college

She said Mirror: ‘You cry with your heart, because all that regular time with your children is gone. It is very sad.

‘Now that everyone is on their way to leave home, I want to enjoy time with them as much as possible. Good Morning Britain is my biggest commitment and I don’t assume anything extra’.

Susanna ‘quit’ drinking four years ago after having ‘anxiety’ and now enjoys ‘spending time with the kids’.

‘I want to enjoy time with them’: The 51-year-old GMB presenter decided last year not to take any more TV jobs so she could be there for her children in their final years of education.

She continued: ‘I stopped enjoying it. I prefer life without alcohol: it’s exhausting and anxiety got to me. I don’t feel like I can go on after last night’s pints of Guinness. Spending time with the children is my release.’

Despite avoiding alcohol, the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant admitted that she resorted to comfort eating “during lockdown by putting on a rock.”

However, he has since lost 1.5 stone and previously praised health guru Joe Wicks, 36, for helping keep the nation fit during lockdown.

On Sunday, Susanna joined her ITV co-stars Kate Garraway and Ben Shepherd to launch Good Morning Britain’s award-winning 1 Million Minutes campaign.

The charity encourages viewers to donate their time and connect with those who are lonely and Susanna said she is “glad” to be “companion to people” who are lonely at Christmas.

Last month, Susanna showed off her amazing figure while posing for a glamorous photo shoot with woman&home.

The TV star wowed in a series of figure-hugging ensembles for the broadcast before opening up about a flirtatious encounter with David Beckham.

However, she insisted that things were purely professional between the couple, naming him as her favorite interviewee.
