Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid and Kate Garraway prove they aren't afraid to get down and dirty as they take part in pitiless Tough Mudder challenge

They're usually seen preened to perfection for their stint on daytime television.

But it was a different story on Wednesday afternoon as Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid and Kate Garraway swapped their on-set sofa for mud-infested park as they took part in the relentless Tough Mudder challenge.

As part of the breakfast show, the presenters became Tough Mums for the day as they braved a five kilometre obstacle course along with 50 mums.

Susanna, 44, proved she wasn't afraid to get down and dirty as her ensemble of form-fitting leggings and a long-sleeve black tee wound up covered in grime as she delved into the obstacle course. 

Getting well and truly into the spirit of things the TV presenter sported two muddy stripes along each of her cheeks. 

Joining her on her muddy mission was co-star Kate Garraway who looked to have made her pink T-shirt and black leggings even more filthy. 

Even the star's blonde locks were coated in mud.

The assault course, designed by Tough Mudder and featuring some of its most exciting signature obstacles saw the mums crawling through mud, plunging into icy baths and climbing over logs. The 50 inspirational mums were chosen to take part after submitting their story to the programme explaining why they were ‘tough mums’. 

But despite the hard work, the friends still kept their smiles intact as they laughed together whilst temporarily sauntering around the assault course. 

Joining them on their adventure day was The X Factor's Sam Bailey and former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton.

Just like Susanna and Kate, the stars were seen dripping in mud as they attempted to run along the course, Michelle in a pair of printed leggings and a coordinating pink T-shirt and Sam a football top and shorts. 

Also taking part was former Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt, GMA's Charlotte Hawkins and meteorologist Laura Tobin. 

Congratulating the rest of the women on their effort after completing the challenge, Susanna wrote: 'A huge WELL DONE to everyone who took part. Lots of fears conquered today. THANK-YOU to all @ToughMudder who made it happen @gmb #Toughmums'.
