Viewers of ITV's Good Morning Britain couldn't believe what they were hearing when host Richard Madeley told a guest to "jog on". It came as the presenter returned to the show this morning (Dec 13) after a brief break.
Hosting alongside Kate Garraway, the pair were in the usual London studio for the programme, which on Monday had been hosted live from outside a Merseyside hospital, in order to shine a light on the NHS frontline. Among the guests appearing on the show was boss of the Rail Maritime and Transport union (RMT) Mick Lynch.
The union leader was on to discuss the first of a wave of 48-hour rail strikes affecting the UK today, Manchester Evening News reports. Workers are walking out in a dispute over pay and conditions, with nurses, Royal Mail employees and many others also set to take industrial action this winter.
