Susanna Riei has shown off her dramatic hair transformation ahead of her return on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
The star, 52, is on her summer break from the show but will return to our screens on Monday with a brand new look.
She shared the results of her new look on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Sunday.
Susanna looks amazing after she swapped her glossy dark hair for a short bob with blonde highlights.
She captioned the post: “NEW TERM – NEW TRIM! Back tomorrow @gmb with @edballs. I’d like to see you from 6 o’clock.’

Susanna has a few weeks off from Good Morning Britain before the summer holidays.
Last month, she paid tribute to her dear friend Suki Thompson, who passed away just eleven days after her appearance on GMB.
Suki had been interviewed from her hospital bed by Susanna on GMB about the four times she’d been diagnosed with cancer in the past 15 years and the importance of wearing SPF on your skin when out in the sun.
Just days later, on July 30, the campaigner – who raised more than £200,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support following her diagnosis – sadly passed away and Susanna has now paid tribute to her ‘beautiful’ friend in an emotional post shared on Instagram.
She posted a photo of the order of service for Suki’s funeral, writing in an accompanying caption that her friend was the “embodiment of strength.”
She posted, “Our beautiful friend Suki Thompson. The embodiment of strength and optimism. A passion to live life to the fullest. Fare you well sweetheart.’
Just days before her death, entrepreneur Suki, who ran several businesses, had appeared on GMB from her hospital bed, where she was being interviewed by her close friend Susanna.
Suki had been diagnosed with cancer four times in the past 15 years and said she may only have a few days to live on the show before she passed away on July 30.
From her bed in a Cornish hospice, Suki spoke to Susanna and co-host Martin Lewis about how she would spend her final days.

Susanna was left visibly emotional when she and her friend shared how much they meant to each other, with the broadcaster citing her boyfriend as “an inspiration.”
Susanna said to Suki, “It was a privilege to know you and be friends with you.”
She went on to call her an “incredible person,” before adding, “What you do is so remarkable. Huge love to you and the family. And just keep going, keep going. Human sunshine.’
Suki returned the kind words to her friend and told Susanna, “I’m so inspired by having a friend like you, Susanna.”
Touched by Suki’s moving words, Susanna held back tears as she quickly added, “You are the inspiration.”

Suki’s diagnosis came when she discovered what she thought was a wart on her foot and was given wart cream to treat it, before it was confirmed to be more serious. The cancer then spread to her brain and became terminal.
In June, Suki had shared an emotional video of her and Susanna holding hands on a beach, expressing how much the star meant to her.
She wrote in her caption, “Friends are so important to our well-being, and @susannareid100 is one of the best.
‘Susanna inspires me to always ask the important questions in life, even if it’s not the easiest way forward.
“We should always see the best in people, even if you may not agree.”
Suki was co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of the intermediary marketing consultancy Oystercatchers in 2007 and also chaired the Marketing Society.
She was also a valued member of Wacl (Women in Advertising, Communications and Leadership) and the MGGB (Marketing Group of Great Britain).
Since her own cancer diagnosis, she has raised over £200,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Richard Robinson, director of Xeim Engage and Oystercatchers, told us The drum: ‘Suki was my old business partner and friend. From my first day as an oystercatcher, I always knew this day would come, but I never believed it would.
“Suki was one of a kind, the best among us, someone who leaves a legacy in the marketing and communications industry in the relationships she formed and the humanity she shared. She was a beautiful soul and I will miss her dearly.
