Viewers of the daytime TV breakfast show, Good Morning Britain, have taken to social media to beg ITV to "get rid" of Richard Madeley over his Partygate comments. Richard and Susanna interviewed Transport Secretary Grant Shapps today, and discussed the new images of Prime Minister Boris Johnson at an event, where he can be seen holding up a glass with bottles of alcohol on a nearby table.
Whilst Mr Shapps tried to defend Mr Johnson's attendance at the "gathering", Richard's comment angered fans. During the interview, Richard looked towards his iPad before saying: "Reading what our viewers think on Twitter, quite a large proportion of our viewers say they don't care about Partygate anymore.
"The bubble of anger burst some weeks ago and reading the room, you can probably tough this out - is that a fair assessment?" However, his co-host Susanna quickly added: "They're not the messages I'm reading, sorry Richard."
