Susannah Reid going to ITV
Leaving BBC to go to own show on ITV. Million pound contract.
I liked her on BBC breakfast but I thought a lot of it was down to her co presenters Bill and Charlie. They are talking about her working with Ben shepherd or Dermot O'leary ... Not sure either will work.

Getting boring!
Living up to your username I see. ;-)
Sorry ... Haven't heard about it until news this morning. Anyway it's no longer "possible" it's definite.;-)
I am really surprised that she is opting to leave the Beeb.
Her profile was upped a lot by SCD so probably got an offer it would be mad to refuse.
Hope she's ready to be 'dummed down'.
Possibly she's partly doing it so that she doesn't have to commute to Manchester and has more time with her family - if so good luck to her. Don't think she'll leave a huge gap at the Beeb, never really understood her appeal on SCD - too much gurning for me.
That is a good point SS.
I'm pretty certain that others before her have had time to regret jumping ship though.;-)
If I were in charge I'd ditch the sofa set-up and go more for rolling news like Sky News. Rather than hang onto this tired, utterly played out, boring thing where we have two presenters sat on a sofa. Zzzzzzzz.
Susannah Reid is on the way to being humiliated just like Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles were - by getting -
THE SACK.
Bleakley's 'career' has crumbled in my view. She is not the big star she thought she was. And Chiles has gone running back to the BBC, hosting DriveTime on Radio Five Live.
I seriously cannot see what ITV see in Reid. She is utterly without any personality. She's drab and boring and the only 'entertaining' thing she did while on BBC Breakfast was to flash her knickers not one but twice. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
I however find that sort of thing utterly stupid.
Yeah and she said she'd do it again.:o
the only thing i would say was it was the BBC that gave her the Strictly position and raised her profile. they must regret that now.
Or were trying to get rid of her!;-)
There are threads on forums devoted to when she does...
Which just about sums up what she represents.
Can't stand kelly brook but everyone loves her but there you go.
The people who flock to ITV at the mere hint of a few more quid must be very shorted sighted. From what I can see, Susannah's career would be far more secure if she stayed at the BBC. Just like Christine Bleakley before her would probably have retained her higher profile if she'd not run off to Daybreak. In my mind, these people must be rather shallow and not have any loyalty to their employers. Hopefully if Susannah flops like Christine did, people will start to learn something.
Well, I will take her side on not wanting to commute. I don't blame anyone who actively avoids it. It's not something I could do (I'm very grateful that I currently don't have to).
Other than that, I still can't understand why any self respecting journalist would want to work at ITV no matter how much money they're offered. The network is the definition of trashy.
I seem to remember her saying just 2 months ago that she would never leave the BBC and if you cut her open she would bleed BBC

It would appear she has developed the "Bleakley Syndrome" and obviously believes herself to be something more than a "ten a penny" auto-cue reader.
