Susanna Reid joined her mother Sue Smith for a carol service hosted by Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales at Westminster Abbey on Friday.
The GMB presenter, 53, cut an elegant figure for the event in a dark red velvet suit which she layered over a chiffon bow blouse.
Susanna, who wore a similar outfit for her Thursday TV appearances, completed the ensemble with sparkly heels and carried her essentials in a leather bag.
Meanwhile, Sue, 82, sheltered herself from the winter chill in a long black quilted jacket and wrapped a striking purple scarf around her neck.
Mother and daughter appeared very animated as they entered the emblematic place arm in arm.
Next week Susanna will celebrate her 54th birthday and during last year’s celebrations they left fans in shock when they found out her real age.
Susanna Reid, 53, joined her mother Sue Smith for a service for Carol, 82, hosted by Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales at Westminster Abbey on Friday.
The presenter took to Instagram to share a sweet photo with her mother Sue as they spent the day together on her birthday.
The stunning mother-daughter duo wore no makeup for the photo, showing off their natural beauty as they glowed in front of the lens.
Fans were quick to hear the comments: ‘Happy birthday, eternal wonder ‘; ‘Happy birthday Susanna and I hope you had a great day and don’t look over 20 xxx’;
‘You look fabulous in 53 Susanna! I hope you had a lovely day 🙂 x’; ‘You’re 53??? You look 33!! Happy Birthday!’; ‘Happy Birthday. You look amazing at 53 years old! : ‘Happiest birthday, Susanna, I hope you had a great day, even if you still don’t think you’re 53 years old xx’
It comes after Susanna’s co-presenter Ed Balls momentarily stepped away from presenting duties for the second time this week during Thursday’s Good Morning Britain show to avoid interviewing his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.
Susanna conducted the talk alone as she spoke to the politician, who was in Berkshire, via a zoom link.
The awkward moment came after ITV admitted he would not be allowed to question his spouse again following an outcry in August.
Ed, 57, a former Labor Cabinet minister, remained silent as his fellow presenter grilled his wife on everything from migration figures to whether the public can trust politicians.

When the show returned after a commercial break, the camera zoomed in only on Susanna, and Ed had apparently left the studio temporarily.
Susanna joked: ‘The Prime Minister must announce today that every neighborhood will have a designated and contactable police officer as part of the Prime Minister’s mission to combat crime.
“So we are joined by the Home Secretary who is in charge of our police: Yvette Cooper.”
The entire interview was conducted with Ed off camera and unable to ask any questions himself.
It’s the second time this week that Yvette has been on the show, so Ed has taken a backseat.
On Wednesday, as Susanna prepared to interview her, Ed said, “As you know, she’s my wife, so I’m not participating in this.”
In August, when Ed spoke to his wife on the show, the interview was branded “embarrassing to a fault” by viewers concerned about the potential conflict of interest, although bosses insisted they both behaved “professionally” and were not It was against the rules. .
Thousands of people made official complaints to the regulator about the breakfast show episode in which Yvette was questioned about the Labor government’s handling of the riots.
Ed served as Education Secretary and shadow chancellor before losing his seat in the House of Commons in 2015 and pursuing a career in television.

Former Labor Cabinet minister Ed, 57, remained silent as his fellow presenter grilled his wife on everything from migration figures to whether the public can trust politicians.
However, after Thursday’s interview, even with Ed off screen, viewers were not impressed.
During the exchange on August 5, he asked his wife if officers had policed protests by far-right activists and pro-Palestine protesters differently.
Ed, who has three children with him, responded by saying police had to operate “without fear or favour, whatever the types of crimes they deal with”.
He also asked if there had been a “two-tiered approach” to policing, and whether police had been “softer and more cautious” in policing the Gaza protests compared to a “tougher” approach over the previous week. .
Ahead of that interview, Ed told viewers he had “genuine questions” for Ms Cooper as he had “rarely seen her in the last week” due to the recent disorder.
The following month, the ITV boss promised the scenes would not be repeated, despite Ofcom’s failure to carry out an investigation.
