And wasn’t Susanna absent from Breakfast quite a bit in late 2013 when she was on Strictly? As there was loads of speculation about her joining ITV, did she return in early 2014, can’t seem to find her last BBC programme.
They did similar about Kate and Eamonn as a partnership, when actually they never were an official pairing iirc and yes they were colleagues for about five years but didn’t present together all that frequently. It was particularly odd because actually Charlotte did have a long term on screen partnership with Eamonn, anchoring Sky News Sunrise for 7 years together, which they referenced but didn’t focus on.
I think she was on Breakfast for the early part of 2014 - until January or even February before "gardening leave" and the defection to itv, if I recall correctly.
Agree with the notion that it was much more Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams that was considered the golden pairing at Breakfast. As I've stated earlier on this thread, when Breakfast returned briefly to London in summer 2012 for the Olympics, they reunited Bill and Sian for those special weeks, rather than using Susanna Reid.
