Just one year later she was nabbed by ITV and was almost instantly named Newsreader of the Year by the Television and Radio Industries Club.
Susanna says she sees 50 as a year of self-acceptance rather than self-improvement.
She added to the publication: ‘I’ve got to an age where this is who I am and I’m happy with that.’

This year will be the 20th anniversary of her first news bulletin on the BBC, which showcased what Susanna now calls her ‘Lego hair’.
She noted that when she started news presenting, women had to discard glamour and adopt serious looks.
She told the publication: ‘What’s wonderful now is women feel like they don’t have to look like that.’
Susanna revealed a few of her secrets which help to keep her looking so youthful as she ages.
She gave up alcohol in 2018 and lost a stone-and-a-half in the process. But the real reason behind her quitting was to help her skin from becoming red and blemished.
A healthy diet has also appeared to have made a difference. For breakfast at work she will ask for beetroot gravlax salmon and a cup of black coffee.
When asked about her relationship status, Susanna, who split up with her millionaire boyfriend Steve Parish, 54, last April, declined to comment.
The TV star has sons Sam, 18, Finn, 16, and Jack, 15, with ex-husband Dominic Cotton. They divorced in 2014 after marrying in 1998.
