Richard Madeley fans all say the same thing as he wheels suitcases down high street

Richard Madeley fans were worried as the star wheeled a number of suitcases down a high street in London.

The TV personality made a generous donation to the Oxfam store in Hampstead after having a clear-out.

The 65-year-old and his wife, Judy Finnegan, regularly select books for their "Book Club" in partnership with WH Smith.

This means they have to read a number of books before handpicking those to be added to their club - and it seems those books soon stack up.

Captioning his video on Instagram, Richard said: "Took about 400-500 books to Oxfam in Hampstead - mostly R&J Book Club bestsellers we’ve had piled up around the house for 3-4 years!

"Get one for three quid! Mostly mint cond hardbacks in jackets. Enjoy!" [sic]

Within the clip, he made a dig at the alleged Downing Street lockdown parties, saying: "This is a bunch of suitcases, full to the brim, not with booze for a Downing Street party... but Richard and Judy books going back about three to four years".

A number of fans commented on his generosity, while others were "worried" as he was "missed" from Good Morning Britain.
