Susanna Reid admits she didn’t drink champagne on 50th after quitting booze

by

Susanna Reid refrained from drinking champagne on her 50th birthday bash amid her booze ban.

The Good Morning Britain host decided to quit drinking when she was given a warning by her doctors two years ago.

GP’s told Susanna that she could face being “scarred for life” if she didn’t cut out the booze.

The much-loved TV star then called it a day on drinking alcohol after it began to cause health problems.

Whenever she would have a glass of wine or two, Susanna’s skin would become aggravated and the blood vessels on her face would burst – leaving her with permanent scarring.

Now, two years later, Susanna has managed to stay off booze – and even went without for her recent birthday celebrations.

During a candid interview with The Times, the brunette beauty admitted that she didn’t feel the need to drink in order to celebrate her milestone birthday.

Susanna insisted quitting booze was one of the best decisions she has made in recent years and she feels “glad” that she doesn’t have to deal with the lasting effects any longer.

“I’m rather glad I’ve given up drink because lockdown drinking, the pandemic prosecco, has been a serious issue,” she explained.

“I gave up because a doctor told me to. I was concerned because my skin was flushed, I kept getting flare-ups and blemishes, and they were leaving red scars. My skin was probably a manifestation of what I was putting into my body.”

Although the proud mum-of-three said her life has improved overall since giving up drinking, there has been one minor downside.

Susanna is constantly branded “boring” by her friends when she refrains from drinking around them.

And even Good Morning Britain co-host Piers Morgan, 55, has commented on the fact Susanna doesn’t drink as he’s labelled her a “bore”.

Despite her friends’ opinions, Susanna revealed that she feels “clearer, sharper, and more energetic than ever”.

“It’s certainly helped me – not least because I have get up so early and it doesn’t help when you feel as if you are in a constant state of jet lag,” she quipped.
