'Why did I do that?' Susanna Reid cringes as she recalls her dream job interview disaster
SHE may be one of the most famous ladies of daytime television, but there was a time when Susanna Reid struggled to land a job in journalism.
Kate Garraway and Susanna Reid opened up about their dream job interview disasters today
Today on Good Morning Britain, the mother-of-three recalled her dream job interview disaster as she and her co-host Kate Garraway were joined by a job interview expert.
Cringing as she spoke, the 44-year-old explained: "In my twenties I went for my dream job as a foreign correspondent. On the application form you had to be fluent in three languages so I wrote down English, and then I'd done an O Level in French and an O Level in German so I said i was fluent in English, French and German."
She continued: "What I didn't realise was you then got three interviews. One in English, one in French and one in German!
"At the end of the German interview - which probably lasted about 30 seconds - I was asked, 'why have you applied for this job?' And I said, 'I really don't know.'"

Holding her head in her hands, Susanna added: "And then I just spent 24 hours in bed just going, 'why did I do that?!'"
However, she needn't feel too red-faced as Kate, 48, also revealed her own disaster.
The mother-of-two makes no secret of the fact that she likes to carry large hangbags, but her huge accessories once ruined a job interview for her.
"I thought it had gone really, really well," she explained. "But then I turned around and I knocked a vase off a shelf, it crashed onto the floor and it was the interviewer's pet dog's ashes. And there's just absolutely no way to come back from that."
Susanna wore florals on today's show and a sexy crop top last night
Despite partying at Lorraine's High Street Fashion Awards last night, both Kate and Susanna looked fresh-faced this morning.
After flashing her midriff in a sparkling crop top last night, Susanna opted for a red lacy skirt from LK Bennett today which she teamed with a short-sleeved floral sweater by Coast.
Kate also looked lovely in a navy blue skater dress from Jigsaw.
