Susanna Reid: I don't feel ready to date again - and I've never been happier

The Good Morning Britain presenter, 44, said her life is fulfilling enough as it is with an ex-husband and three children

TV favourite: Susanna also starred on Strictly

Susanna Reid says she is happy to stay single more than a year after splitting from long-term partner Dominic Cotton.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 44, said her life is fulfilling enough as it is and she “doesn’t feel the need” to start dating again.
She said: “At the moment I don’t feel the need. I’m not dating but I still go out.
"Do I have lots of male friends? Yes. Gay, straight, married.
"I was in a relationship for 16 years and I’m not in a rush to be involved in anything else."

Susanna – who previously defended her decision to continue living with Dominic, father of her three kids, after they split – added: “I’ve a job that’s utterly fulfilling, three children I’m completely dedicated to and a great friendship with their dad.
"Internet dating? It’s a great idea, but not for me.”

She said of her ex: “We’re still really good friends and we have an arrangement where we’re doing the best we can for our kids. People found that unusual but it’s worked.
"We have a very good, positive and genuine friendship that will last now and three great kids who we adore and would do anything for.”
The former Strictly Come Dancing star said her 40s have been her “best decade ever”.
She said she keeps her youthful good looks with regular exercise, spray tans and hair dye but would not rule out any future cosmetic procedures.
She told Good Housekeeping magazine: “I’ve never been happier than in my 40s. It’s the best decade ever!
"I try to do some exercise. Sometimes I swim or I do a bit of a workout. I’ve also got a hula-hoop, which I thoroughly recommend! And I go to Zumba twice a week.
“I’m slightly worried that as soon as you start tinkering other things then look like they need work, and suddenly you’re on that rollercoaster of oh dear, I seem to have changed my entire face!
"I’m not embarrassed to say I dye my hair and spray tan my skin. My rule is I wouldn’t want to do anything to myself that I wouldn’t be happy discussing.
"Six months down the line I might think ‘a tiny bit of Botox and I would look a lot better’.
“I’m not going to rule it out but I don’t want to do it at the moment.”

She lashed out at the scrutiny of her on-screen wardrobe choices and “flirty” interviews.
She said: “It’s frustrating – I’m a professional interviewer whose job it is to get the best out of people.
“To have it described in a different way, feels a bit like, ‘Come on, really?’
“But as a woman in the media you have to take that as part of the rough and tumble.
“It enables you to lay down another layer of thick skin.”
