Susanna Reid has claimed she put on ‘a few pounds’ during lockdown.
Speaking candidly about her weight gain on Monday’s Good Morning Britain, the presenter, 50, joked to co-presenter Ben Shephard that ‘hot girl summer is a couple of months away’.
Her comment came as Andi Peters announced the latest competition while stood beside a pool, which prompted Susanna to reflect on her figure.

Susanna said: ‘I’ll tell you what, it’s a little early for a swimsuit. I’ve been in lockdown, there’s a few pounds that have gone on.
‘Hot girl summer is a couple of months away. I’ll tell you.’
Her co-presenter Ben chimed in, saying her ‘work starts now though’ for them to improve their health and well-being, and Susanna agreed.

Susanna previously admitted she’d gained a stone during the UK’s lockdown last year, telling Joe Wicks she had been struggling to exercise and eat a healthy diet.
She told The Body Coach star, ‘I’m going to be battling with the lockdown stone, it went on during lockdown one. I really don’t want another one going on during lockdown two.’
The star has openly documented her weight loss journey after learning in 2018 that her weight meant she was at the top end of her BMI.

Susanna previously revealed that she managed to drop a stone and a half after quitting booze and cutting down on her snacking.
Speaking to Lorraine Kelly in March in 2019 she said: ‘I went to a doctor because I just wanted to ask him about skin problems and he said I recommend two things.
‘One is you stop drinking or cut down on drinking and one is you lose some weight because you are at the top end of your BMI.
‘It can creep up without noticing, I cut out snacking, I found waking up so early in the morning and you’re in energy deficit and all your body can think it have toast have biscuits and you can pile it one really.’
While she has given up booze, Susanna also said she hasn’t ruled out the odd little drink, and did have a cheeky tipple after hosting the Oscars live from LA.
She said: ‘I haven’t been completely abstemious when it comes to alcohol, but when we were in LA, Piers thinks I’m a dullard not drinking, so after the Oscars I thought we’re in LA, if now isn’t the time of a margarita when is? But it took two days to get over it.’
In January last year Susanna also revealed she’d decided to give up caffeine, despite her early starts on GMB.
