GMB's Susanna Reid was forced to step in today as co host Richard Madeley made a blunder live on air.
The pair returned to present the ITV breakfast show together today, but Susanna had to jump in and stop Richard from speaking when they were less than an hour into the programme.
They had just introduced their chat with Labour MP Kim Leadbeater about her documentary, which airs today, on the threats received by MPs after her sister Jo Cox was murdered as she made her way to meet constituents in Yorkshire.
Richard went to welcome Kim - who was appearing via Zoom - to the show but Susanna had to quickly step in, reminding him that they had a clip from the series to watch first before talking to her, writes the Mirror.
"Kim is taking part in a documentary that airs later tonight where MPs discuss the very real dangers of what they face and even the number of people now in prison because of the threats. And now Kim joins us from," he began as Susanna interrupted to add: "No, let's just have a look, let's have a look."
Appearing to be embarrassed, he then said: "Ah yes let's have a look at the doco."
Richard has said in the past he is worried about his future on Good Morning Britain.
Speaking on Kate Thornton's podcast White Wine Question Time recently, he said: "But in terms of what I do on my own, which at the moment is Good Morning Britain, although who knows how long that'll go on for.
"I'm doing it month to month at the moment and I'm very happy to. I quite like operating at that level, I've had my main career curve. I'm not seeking some huge career arc, we'll see what happens. But I enjoy it, I enjoy doing it."
He has been subjected to multiple Ofcom complaints recently, including over the comments he made about a protester, where he described them as being "childish".
He was also blasted for a "patronising" remark to Labour MP Shadow Culture Secretary Lucy Powell as they discussed sanctions on Russia.
"If I can juggle that around making my children's tea and all my various childcare demands, I will," she said as she criticised the government for not doing enough and not doing it quickly enough.
Richard responded: "There speaks a working woman! Thanks very much indeed."
