Huge ITV star shares first role in hit drama and she looks unrecognisable

Viewers were shocked at a throwback picture of Susanna Reid during a segment of Good Morning Britain on Tuesday 15 May when she revealed her acting background. The presenter was interviewing Casualty star Derek Thompson when she opened up about her television beginnings as an actress. Susanna starred in Channel 4’s The Price in 1985 - making Susanna just 13 years old at the time.

As Susanna went on to explain more about her time on television, she dropped the bomb that Succession’s Dame Harriet Walter played her mum. Susanna asked Derek whether he enjoyed working with her as much as she liked working with him. She then added that doing the show meant she “never acted again”. As Susanna confirmed, she never acted again but did soon start out her career as a presenter in 2001 when she joined BBC Breakfast alongside Bill Turnbull. Derek on the other hand went on to play Charlie Fairhead in Casualty for 38 years before calling it quits in a very dramatic episode that aired in March.
