Susanna Reid is currently the lead presenter of the show and has been since she joined back in 2014. Following Piers Morgan's dramatic exit from the programme back in March last year, Susanna has been joined by an array of stand-in hosts, including Ed Balls, Adil Ray, Rob Rinder and Richard Madeley, who has been a part-time presenter since November last year.

Speaking about her new hosts in a recent interview with Lorraine Kelly, Susanna said: "Whoever is on screen, the relationship has to work and so they are all talented in their own ways and they've all got a wealth of unique experience to bring to the programme and again it's a privilege working with them all."
