Ed Balls made a big announcement on Good Morning Britain, and his co-star Susanna Reid was there to support him. The announcement was about Ed winning a special award for his advocacy in supporting people who stutter. During the show, Ed humorously pulled the award out from under the desk and began to polish it, making it shine under the studio lights. Susanna congratulated him and praised his efforts in inspiring people, especially those who struggle to open up about their stutter. Ed shared his thoughts on the award, emphasizing the importance of talking about stuttering and seeking support. He also joked about his newfound ability to read autocues. The presenting panel and regular guest Kevin Maguire praised Ed's achievement, and fans at home expressed their support and admiration for him. Ed's journey with stuttering began in 2011 when he disclosed his battle with the condition in an interview with The Times. He revealed that memorizing speeches was challenging due to his stutter, and it wasn't until he was 41 that he received a formal diagnosis. Ed's openness about his stutter has been a source of inspiration for many, and his award is a testament to his dedication in advocating for those who stutter.
