Good Morning Britain host Richard Madeley has come under fire once again as viewers criticised a segment in which the presenter talked about the late Olivia Newton-John. Grease star Olivia died aged 73 on Monday, August 8, surrounded by her friends and family, leading to an outpouring of tributes fronted by former co-worker John Travolta.
But as Richard paid tribute to Olivia on the ITV breakfast show, some watching at home were left less than impressed by his remarks. “I wish I’d met her, I wish I’d interviewed her - it never happened. I always regretted it actually, as the years went by,” Richard started off by saying, before going on to comment on an iconic 70s poster of Olivia, reports The Chronicle.
"She’s just looking at the camera, she’s backlit by sunshine, her hair’s down, she’s wearing a denim shirt,” Richard explained. “That poster was on the wall of a radio station I used to work in back in the 1970s and, I’m not exaggerating, it basically stopped traffic in the corridors.”
