Susanna Reid has shared a defiant message about age after posting a string of pictures from her Ibiza holiday. The Good Morning Britain presenter urged followers not to let anyone dictate what they should wear.
The 55-year-old is taking a break from GMB and plans to return in September. Her off-duty pictures follow a sheer blouse and leather skirt look that won praise from GMB viewers, but this time Susanna paired her outfits with a firm message about getting older.
Her Instagram carousel featured sunsets, meals and walks by the water. She also shared pictures from several of the island’s famous clubs.
Susanna Reid shares message from Ibiza holiday
Explaining why Ibiza means so much to her, Susanna told her Instagram followers: “IBIZA! Away from home, this is my favourite place on earth.”
She added: “Been coming every year for more than a decade, and just found out it was the destination for mum and dad’s first foreign holiday together back in 1959. The connection must be strong!”
Susanna went on to praise the island’s people, weather, scenery, food and nightlife. She then encouraged her followers to reject the idea that certain clothes come with an age limit.
She wrote: “Don’t let anyone tell you that you are too old, that you shouldn’t wear the swimsuit – or the shorts!!!”
The presenter ended her post by making it clear that she intends to return. She wrote: “Thank you Ibiza – see you next year.”
