Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid issued a stark “dangerous” alert within moments of the programme starting.
On Tuesday’s (December 9) edition of the hit ITV breakfast show, Susanna and fellow host Richard Madeley were back on screen delivering the day’s top news stories from across Britain and further afield.
Yet barely into the broadcast, Susanna wasted no time alerting viewers to severe warnings indicating a genuine threat to life, as Storm Bram batters the UK.
Addressing those tuning in from home, Susanna launched the programme by announcing: “Good Morning Britain. Warnings of danger to life, reports Wales Online.
“Storm Bram brings heavy rain and strong wind to the West and North of the UK. Gusts of up to 90 miles an hour and it’s expected to damage homes.”

She went on: “Storm Bram is sweeping into the UK. It came overnight, bringing massive downpours and dangerous winds.
“There are amber weather warnings in place as it is the second highest possible and they are in effect in several areas – warning of a risk to life.”
Richard added: “As we speak there are also flood warnings and more than a 100 flood alerts in place across the country.”
The programme then switched to chief correspondent Richard Gaisford, broadcasting live from Monmouth, South Wales, amongst the regions under amber alert.
This follows GMB hosts Kate and Adil’s recent on-air warning to millions of viewers to stay indoors due to the impending threat of Storm Eowyn, which was predicted to bring ‘potentially life-threatening winds with it.

During the broadcast, the programme switched to reporter Nick in West Scotland, who was battling against the fierce winds in his blue raincoat, hood up, struggling to get his words out.
A visibly concerned Kate remarked: “To me, we almost don’t need to speak to you because we can see how much you’re under pressure from those winds. And the red warning doesn’t even arrive until 10am, does it.”
She then asked: “Are you okay?” Nick responded: “Yeah, I’m okay. We’re relatively safe here and I could do with a coffee right now but the conditions have really intensified in the last hour.”
The reporter continued to grapple with maintaining his footing as the gusts threatened to topple him over.
