Jimmy's nickname, meanwhile, is no doubt referring to the pair's dogged interview techniques.
Susanna was left choking back tears earlier in the episode, as she spoke to a grieving mother whose teenager had been brutally murdered with a sword.
She admitted "it makes me feel sick" as she and co-presenter Ed Balls, 57, tackled the hugely emotional interview.
The Good Morning Britain favourites were chatting to Pooja Kanda, who lost 16-year-old son Ronan in 2022 when he was murdered in a case of mistaken identity.
The schoolboy - who Pooja described as "charismatic" - was stabbed with a Ninja sword as he walked down the street in Wolverhampton listening to his music.
