A Surprise Celebration on Good Morning Britain
Good Morning Britain kicked off this morning with a delightful interruption as Susanna Reid paused the live broadcast to make a special announcement about her co-host, Ed Balls.
Instead of diving straight into the day's top headlines, Susanna smiled and said:
"Before we crack on, let me just say: Happy Ed Balls Day!"
The former MP turned TV star laughed warmly at the tribute, setting a joyful tone for the morning.
What Is Ed Balls Day?
Ed Balls Day celebrates an iconic internet moment that started in 2011.
While trying to search for his name on Twitter (now X), Ed Balls mistakenly tweeted simply: "Ed Balls."
The humorous blunder instantly went viral and has since become an annual online celebration, marked by memes, cakes, and endless jokes. Even 14 years later, Ed embraces the tradition with good humor.
Good Morning Britain Marks Its 11th Anniversary
The celebrations didn’t end there. Susanna shared another huge announcement:
"Yes, it’s Good Morning Britain’s 11th anniversary this morning! We launched on the 28th of April, 2014."
The studio filled with excitement as co-host Ed Balls responded: "Oh my gosh, well Happy GMB day too!"
Fans quickly took to X to send their congratulations and fond memories of the show.
A Morning Filled with News and Nostalgia
Despite the light-hearted celebrations, the show still covered important global events, including the Vancouver attack and Liverpool FC’s historic Premier League title win.
Today’s broadcast perfectly balanced hard-hitting journalism with moments of genuine warmth and humor — a winning combination that has kept viewers loyal for more than a decade.
