Susanna Reid gatecrashes Lorraine Kelly's ITV show with huge news leaving her fighting tears

Susanna Reid left Lorraine Kelly stunned when she gatecrashed her live show with some big news. The broadcaster had already been seen on screens co-hosting Good Morning Britain early on Monday (March 25) before she made an unexpected appearance on Lorraine a short time later.

Lorraine, 64, thought she was catching up on the latest entertainment news with Tyler West but their segment wasn't being broadcast live and instead, Susanna, 53, appeared behind the scenes and revealed she'd be surprising her ITV pal.

When fanfare started to play out in the studio, Lorraine appeared baffled before Susanna appeared through the LED sliding doors as she revealed she was on hand to announce that Lorraine had won this year's TV Bafta Special Award with the prestigious honour marking Lorraine's four-decade-long career.

Upon receiving the news, Lorraine exclaimed: "This is nuts!" She then asked: "Where’s Ant and Dec? This is a prank," before saying she knew it had to be real as it was Susanna delivering the news to her.

When Susanna entered the studio with a golden envelope, she told Lorraine: "It doesn't get much bigger or more serious than this." A tentative Lorraine listened before saying with a giggle: "I'm frightened."

In an awards first, Susanna explained that Lorraine was being honoured for her decades in the industry, her life-changing campaigns and charity work and would receive the gong in a ceremony ceremony on May 14 at London's Royal Festival Hall. And it could be a Bafta double this year for Lorraine with her self-titled show also nominated
