Good Morning Britain fans complain as Richard Madeley issues 'excuse' for habit

Fans of Good Morning Britain were unhappy with presenter Richard Madeley this morning.

The host appeared alongside Kate Garraway as they took the helm of the morning talk show together. They welcomed on guest Chris Ellison and his wife Anita, via video link, as they spoke about his battle with Aphasia after suffering a stroke in 2020.
