Viewers of Good Morning Britain<\/a> were treated to Ed Balls’s<\/a> comeback on the ITV<\/a> show this Monday.<\/p>\n

Taking a brief hiatus last week, the 58-year-old broadcaster quipped about his sunny getaway, surprising fans with his glowing tan.<\/p>\n

Jovially prodded by co-host Susanna Reid<\/a> about his bronzed appearance, she teased: “Somebody got some warm weather over the weekend!”<\/p>\n

He responded: “They did! It looks like I’ve been on some exotic beach.<\/p>\n

“But actually, to be honest, it was the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Poole. I was on a sailing boat last week, and it was very sunny, it turned out. I think all the rays were reflecting off of the water.”<\/p>\n

Susanna highlighted his sunkissed complexion despite having used sunscreen, leaving him glowing upon his return.<\/p>\n

Ed also shared that a football game over the weekend had left him quite sore. He commented: “I also played football on Saturday and I’m in immense pain, I can hardly move having played this football match. So, sunkissed but a bit stiff.”<\/p>\n

In another light-hearted segment, Susanna brought up ‘Ed Balls Day’, a nod to the presenter’s infamous social media mishap from April 28, 2011, reports Manchester Evening News.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ed had mistakenly tweeted his own name searching for mentions online, which has since turned into an annually commemorated gaffe.<\/p>\n

With good humour, Susanna said: “Before we crack on, let me just say, Happy Ed Balls Day!” To which he retorted: “Oh my gosh, well, and happy GMB day.”<\/p>\n

The presenters announced to the audience that it was Good Morning Britain’s 11th anniversary, with Ed pointing out that his namesake day predated the show.<\/p>\n

On Twitter, festivities were underway as one user joyfully remarked: “Happy Ed Balls day to all those who celebrate! Seems to come round quicker every year!”<\/p>\n

Another chimed in with: “Happy 15th Ed Balls Day to all who celebrate.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another person commented: “Happy Ed Balls Day! Celebrate modestly.”<\/p>\n
