Despite its success, 20 years after the show first hit screens, Susannah, 61, has revealed she has no plans to ever push for it to come back.
‘What Not to Wear, no, I would not revive it, I think What Not to Wear was an incredible show,’ she said.
‘The way we did it doesn’t have its place today unfortunately, it would be great but it’s time for the next round of women or men to do it, Trinny and I had our time.’
‘Trinny is so busy with her make-up brand which is phenomenal, and we’ve always been polar opposites and now our lifestyles reflect that, so I am very happy living in the countryside, I now consider myself to be a mum first and a wife, very 1950s, who also happens to work,’ she added when speaking to .

However, she’s now also ruled out ever appearing on a reality show again after being eliminated first on both series’.
Although she said she would ‘never retire’, Susannah said TV had now ‘changed so much’ and was instead focused on ‘speed and efficiency’.
‘I think that’s taken away the authenticity that was around in the early 2000s, so it’s a different animal now,’ she explained.
Sharing she ‘loved’ working on the Jeremy Vine Show and Lorraine ‘because you’re talking about things the viewers are interested in’, Susannah said she would work on a ‘documentary of some kind…but not reality TV’.
After first meeting in 1994, Trinny and Susannah spent seven years writing a style guide together before working on their hit series.
Following their departure from the show, Lisa Butcher and Mica Paris took over as hosts for another two seasons before it was axed.
