Sharing a photo of the funeral programme for Suki Thompson, who died following a battle with cancer, Susanna penned a heartfelt message in the caption: "Our beautiful friend Suki Thompson. The embodiment of strength & optimism. A passion for living life to the fullest. Go well lovely". 

Followers were quick to respond to the heartbreaking news, including Susanna's co-star Charlotte Hawkins, who wrote: "Oh no, so sad she's gone. Sorry for you Susanna, Suki was such a special person. Sending much love."

GMB viewers will recognise Suki as she previously appeared on the programme in July to speak about her melanoma diagnosis and raise awareness for the illness. She was interviewed from her hospital bed in Perranporth, Cornwall and spoke to Susanna and her co-host Martin Lewis, who were in the studio. 

Praising her friend during the interview, Susanna said: "What's so remarkable about you is your resilience, your endless and inspiring positivity, you are described as human sunshine. It's been a privilege knowing you, and being friends with you."

Why did Susanna Reid take a break from Good Morning Britain?

It's usual for all of ITV's main presenters to take a well-deserved break over the summer. Susanna bid farewell to viewers on 19 July and returned after six weeks off.
