Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley is missing from the ITV breakfast show this week. The host usually presents the programme Monday to Wednesday alongside Susanna Reid but has been absent since March 21.
The 65-year-old was replaced by consumer champion and Money Saving Expert founder Martin Lewis on Monday and Tuesday, with Lingo presenter Adil Ray stepping in for Wednesday's installment of the show.
Richard has co-hosted GMB alongside Susanna since before Christmas 2021 following Piers Morgan's sensational exit from the show last year. But on Sunday night Susanna tweeted: "Tomorrow, I am very pleased to say that @MartinSLewis will be hosting @gmb with me."

Martin hosted for two days before confirming Tuesday would be his final show. He told his 1.3 million Twitter followers: "Many kind comments about me doing @GMB more permanently.
"Sadly the workload & hours mean it's not compatible with my day job, so I can't do more. Shame, as I enjoy the challenge. Yet being the Money Saving Expert is m'calling & where I think I've most impact. I can't risk that."
GMB then announced Adil would be returning to co-host Wednesday's show. The channel wrote on Twitter: "In tomorrow's #GMB, we look at what the Chancellor's Spring Statement might mean for you and your family. @susannareid100 & @adilray. @CharlotteHawkns @Lauratobin1 @RichardAArnold @andipeters Join us from 6am on @ITV."
At the moment, it hasn't been revealed when Richard will be back on GMB. For more showbiz and television stories, get our newsletter here.
