Good Morning Britain's (GMB) Susanna Reid has been forced to withdraw from presenting duties on today's show after losing her voice following the National Television Awards (NTAs) last night.
Fellow presenter Charlotte Hawkins was forced to step in, alongside Ed Balls on GMB this morning.
Reid made it into the studio this morning but was unable to take to the air because she had lost her voice.
She left the NTAs first but @susannareid100 is not sounding fresh this morning😂

Susanna Reid pulls out of GMB presenting duties after NTAs
GMB crossed to Reid who was in her changing room during this morning's show.
Reid said despite not drinking and being "the very first person to leave the NTAs" she had, for reasons unknown, lost her voice overnight.
Speaking on GMB she said: "I'm fine, I just can't speak.
"I don't know (what happened). I don't know whether it was the heatwave inflaming my vocal chords?

"It's funny because it was the NTAs last night and when I got in my cab to leave, the driver said you're the very first person to leave the NTAs, you're obviously not partying!?
"And of course, I don't drink, I don't smoke, so there's absolutely no reason I can understand that I've lost my voice."
"I'm really sorry, I can only apologise but thank you Charlotte for stepping in I did not to inflict this on our wonderful viewers for three hours."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
