Richard Madeley has opened up about his position on Good Morning Britain. The presenter has said he's taking a "big break" in the summer. The 66-year-old regularly co-hosts the show with Susanna Reid Monday through to Wednesdays each week.
Speaking on Sunday Brunch, Richard spoke to hosts Simon Rimmer and Tim Lovejoy about his future on the show, reports The Mirror. He said: "Since Piers left, as you know, his chair has been a kind of rotating gig and all sorts of presenters have come in and done it. It is true that of late I've kind of risen to the top of that pile I suppose. But I don't know for how long as I'm on quite a short contract."
He added: "I don't know what’s going to happen. I've got quite a big break in the summer, I’m going to France and then I'll be back quite a lot in the autumn.

"But as for next year I have no idea and that's fine with me. I'm not chasing it, you know. If they turn around and say "'We're relaunching the programme and thanks Richard for all the fish but we're going to use so and so,' that would be fine with me."
