He reunited with co-host Susanna Reid two months after he hosted his last episode before a lengthy summer break. "You’ve abandoned life and you’re back on the earlies and it is absolutely lovely to have you back," Susanna said to her co-star after they welcomed viewers to the latest edition of the show.
