Good Morning Britain fans can’t believe Susanna Reid’s ‘real age’ and praise make-up free look amid birthday celebration
GOOD Morning Britain anchor Susanna Reid was hailed an "ageless wonder" as she left fans stunned with her "real age."
The ITV favourite shared a fresh-faced snap with her mum to mark turning 53.
Mum-of-three Susanna was seen beaming in the cheery Instagram image which saw her in her kitchen with a parent.
She donned a chunky cream diamond-print cardigan with a black top and gold necklace.
While she accessorised with a pair of gold earrings, the Good Morning Britain regular ditched her cosmetics to show off her natural complexion.
In her caption, she wrote: "53! Ageing is a blessing - so happy to be able to celebrate my happy birthday weekend with my mum and my family around me. Feeling loved and happy - thanks all."

Another then put: "Happiest Birthday beautiful lady."
Meanwhile, on-screen, Susanna was treated to a birthday cake whipped up by her co-star Ed Balls.
Yet away from the celebrations she was back on the day job, grilling ex UKIP leader Nigel Farage about his latest stint in the jungle.
The TV star recently opened up about her love for her high-profile telly role in an exclusive chat with The Sun.
“When you work in news, it’s non-stop all the time anyway,” says Susanna.
“But thinking back to 2016, we had the Brexit referendum, Trump winning the presidency and Leicester City winning the Premier League – as well as that being the year where we had all those celebrity deaths, culminating with George Michael on Christmas Day.
“And then in 2017, we had the terror attacks, the Grenfell fire and Theresa May winning the General Election, and you think: ‘My goodness!’.
“And it has gone on from there – every year has thrown up so much stuff. It has been extraordinary.”
Next year will mark Susanna’s 10th anniversary at GMB, and she’d chalked up over a decade at BBC Breakfast before that.
It means she’s been starting her day in the middle of the night for more than 20 years now and is so used to it that she’s straight up and at ‘em when the alarm goes off at 3.45am.
Well, after hitting snooze just once.
“There’s something wonderful about the fact that once that alarm goes off, I’m hurtling towards six o’clock," she added.
“I need to read all the briefs, to know what’s in all the newspapers and on every main news website.
“I’ve got to be up to date with X [formerly Twitter].

“I need to have my hair and make-up done, see what they’ve got for me [to wear] in wardrobe and I have to attend the morning meeting.
“There isn’t a spare minute, and I love that about the show.”
