The Good Morning Britain favourite, 48, praised the work of ITV doctor Dr Hilary Jones, 65, as they celebrated the GP’s 30 years on breakfast TV this morning. Susanna Reid had a personal message of gratitude for Dr Hilary, saying he had helped her assist in saving a life in when she found herself in a scary situation. “I’d like to say a massive thank you because we did an item together where you showed what to do if a baby was choking,” she explained. “You put the baby dummy on your knee and then slapped the baby’s back.
“It was a couple of weeks after that that I was just walking to the shops and a mum was screaming because her baby was choking on a bit of fruit loaf,” the GMB star recalled.
“I popped in to the house and said, ‘Let’s try this.’”
Susanna said she put the distressed baby on her knee and “whacked” them on the back.
“In fact, it took a bit more to get that chunk of fruit load out of its throat,” she added. “And the dad did that.
“But it’s that confidence that you give people. I wouldn’t have had a clue what to do,” the ITV favourite admitted.
