Viewers were shocked at a throwback picture of Susanna Reid during a segment of Good Morning Britain on Tuesday 15 May when she revealed her acting background.The presenter was interviewing Casualty star Derek Thompson when she opened up about her television beginnings as an actress. Susanna starred in Channel 4’s The Price in 1985 - making Susanna just 13 years old at the time. Ed Balls was particularly intrigued and asked Derek: “Could she have been a star of the stage or the screen rather than television?” Derek looked momentarily confused before confirming: “We all thought you were going to be a star.” As Susanna went on to explain more about her time on television, she dropped the bomb that Succession’s Dame Harriet Walter played her mum.

Dan Walker on working with ‘horrible people’ after quitting BBC Breakfast for Channel 5
“You know all these sorts of things you can do where you put your head on the pillow and say, ‘oh, that was a bit out of order wasn’t it?’” the broadcaster concluded.Dan moved to Channel 5 News earlier in the year, marking the end of a six year stint on the BBC Breakfast sofa.To mark his work for the channel’s 100th anniversary, the BBC shared a "montage of mistakes" including some of Dan’s most infamous blunders.Following the cheeky commemoration, titled 100 Seconds of BBC Going Wrong, Dan felt compelled to explain himself."During the BBC's 100 years of broadcasting, not everything has gone as planned on air," a caption on the video had explained, promising hilarious and unusual clips from times when it had all gone horribly wrong.The video sampled one newsreader sheepishly announcing: "If the autocue was working, I could now read you something, but as it isn't, I can’t.”The footage showed presenters haplessly falling into swimming pools and being violently pecked by ostriches mid-conversation.Dan's own contribution was merely witnessing an embarrassing mishap, rather than being responsible for one himself.However, he took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the selection of laugh-out-loud footage.He told his 777,300 followers: "It is so magnificently BBC to celebrate a century with a montage of mistakes! Delighted to have made the cut.”Then he quickly corrected himself, adding: "I should say… that’s not because the BBC makes a lot of mistakes but because the corporation is always happy to laugh at itself."On June 6, Dan presented his first News at 5 show and his debut saw 390,000 viewers tuning in.After Dan’s debut, the Channel 5 broadcaster shared his ratings success on Twitter.He wrote: “Lots of talk about figures
