Carol Vorderman Twitter: Susanna Reid PHOTOBOMBED during ‘emotional and big day’ for pair
CAROL VORDERMAN brought some light relief to an “emotional day” for herself and Susanna Reid, judging by their respective Twitter pages last night, where they shared a number of pictures.
Carol Vorderman met up with the Pride Of Britain judging panel yesterday which includes her ITV co-stars, Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard.
The small screen stars came together to help choose the winners ahead of the annual award ceremony, which honours those who have acted bravely or extraordinarily in challenging situations.
And, the 57-year-old, who fronts the television ceremony, was seen photobombing the journalist, 47, and her ITV co-host, 43, in one fun upload.
While the latter perched at the front, the Countdown favourite launched herself between them at the back with an open-mouthed expression.
A moment of joy in a big day
Wearing her newly-dark tresses down in loose curls, Carol was seen in all black while Ben opted for a dark tweed jacket and a khaki shirt.
Susanna stood out in a bright red polka dot top while her own hair remained loose in a wavy style.
“A moment of joy in a big day. Extra helping of @benshephard on a Friday & a @carolvorders photobomb. @PrideOfBritain,” Piers Morgan’s co-presenter captioned it, in view of her 527,000 Twitter followers.
Carol later shared the image with her own 380,000 fans, simply adding: “Hee hee,” and two smiley emojis.
The mother-of-two had written earlier in the day: “Today is our @PrideOfBritain judging panel meeting… all of our nominees are incredible so it's truly difficult task.
“Thank you to everyone who has nominated someone. We can't do it without you. See you later @susannareid100 @benshephard.”
She went on to share a cheeky selfie with Ben, stating: “So many difficult decisions to make this afternoon…
“Every nomination on our shortlist for @PrideOfBritain is extraordinary… Thank you judges @benshephard @susannareid100 @jjenas8 @msm4rsh @michaelsheen.”
When the official Pride of Britain account revealed Coronation Street’s Kym Marsh wanted to vote for them all, Carol replied: “I told you it wasn't easy!!!”
Meanwhile, Susanna responded to her fellow judge admitting it was “always a special day” following the launch of the Awards back in 1999.
She added: “Incredible awards - almost impossible to choose winners. Emotional few hours ahead. Proud to be part of #PrideOfBritain.”
Lorraine compliments Carol Vorderman’s glam new look
It came just hours before Susanna said goodbye to an “old friend” in a post shared on Instagram.
Standing at the front of her photo keeping her sunglasses firmly on, the former BBC Breakfast regular wore a grey top while a silver car could be seen behind her.
She revealed all below: “After 14 years of faithful service I have parted ways with the trusty Zafira.
“I’ve brought babies home from hospital in it, been awkwardly chased by paps in it and even registered as a used car dealer to buy it back at auction after it was stolen… End of an era!”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am followed by Lorraine on ITV.
