GOOD Morning Britain underwent a huge presenter shake-up on Thursday.

Regular ITV anchor Ben Shephard, 48, appeared on-screen this morning - yet Susanna Reid, 52, was absent.

Susanna often hosts with Ben on Thursday's, with Kate Garraway, 56, joining them on news.

Regular Good Morning Britain stand-in Ranvir, 45, instead kept Susanna's seat warm as the pair discussed the three recent tragic murders in Nottingham city centre.

They also put the spotlight on reservoir water levels and taps running dry.

Meanwhile, Kate was also off work, with newsreader Jonathan Swain in her place.

Ranvir opened the show and talked to Ben about attending Hello singer Lionel Richie's gig at Blenheim Palace last night.

She said: "I got in at 1:30am this morning can you believe it?"

Last week, Susanna was left red-faced on GMB as a show guest accused her of flirting.

She was told to "stop flirting" before being branded a "good looking girl" by lively comedian Mike McClean.

The funnyman was on GMB for a feisty segment about whether or not adults should have a teddy bear in their bed.

He then drummed up an imaginary scenario which saw him take Susanna on a date.

Mike said: "If I went back to a girl's house, for example, if you took me out," before gesturing to Susanna.

He continued: "That is reasonable - stop flirting," as she let out a squeal of shock.

The camera then panned to Susanna's embarrassed and stunned face as he said: "If I saw loads of teddy bears on your bed, I'm getting an Uber straight out there."

This led to Susanna to say: "Right I'm putting loads of teddy bears over my bed just in case you make an appearance!"

He did not let up, and said: "Well I will [take her on a date] and don't call it stalking because it is not!"

Recently, Susanna clapped back at a troll who called out her zebra print dress.

A spokesperson for GMB told The Sun Susanna is on annual leave today.
