Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid will be back presenting the programme from the studio this week following a period of self-isolation amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The host, who regularly appears alongside Piers Morgan on the ITV breakfast show, was forced to step down from her hosting duties to self-isolate after one of her children developed symptoms similar to those associated with COVID-19.

"I am currently well but due to the new advice today I will be self-isolating for two weeks due to symptoms in my household," she tweeted earlier this month. "Stay well everyone."

Despite not being able to come into the studio, Susanna has featured on the show via video link a handful of times during her absence and during today's (March 30) chat, it was revealed that Susanna will be making a comeback on Tuesday.

"Thank God, you're on your last day of self-isolating. We get you back tomorrow," Piers confirmed.

And it seems Susanna is excited to get back into the thick of things too, tweeting a smiley face in response to the news on Twitter today.

Explaining why she made the decision to self-isolate in recent weeks, Susanna previously noted that she was following government guidelines to stay home if one member of the household develops symptoms.

"I have a perfectly normal temperature, as do all of my children," Susanna said. "I don't have a cough. I have no symptoms. I'm not feeling fatigued, I feel one hundred per cent healthy.

"Before the advice changed yesterday, I would have come into work. Then, the advice changed."

She added: "I love my work. I love coming into work, I love the daily battles, I love interviewing, broadcasting all of this to our viewers gives me so much pleasure and I'm really going to miss that for two weeks."

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
