Good Morning Britain viewers are demanding Richard Madeley be sacked after he made controversial remarks.
Richard, 65, addressed his comments about Sir Keir Starmer yesterday on ITV's GMB.
He apologised for hinting that death threats were not a big deal.
The ITV presenter came under fire after asking GMB regular Andrew Pierce about the issue, sparking anger among viewers after two MPs, David Amess and Jo Cox, were murdered in recent years.
As reported in Birmingham Live, on Tuesday’s edition of Good Morning Britain, the TV presenter anchored a discussion about Starmer’s revelation he’d received threats to his life.
This comes in the wake of Boris Johnson’s false accusation that Starmer focused on prosecuting journalists rather than serial sex offender Jimmy Savile during his previous job as the director of the public prosecutions.
Debating the matter on Tuesday, GMB regular Andrew Pierce suggested: “Well I think politicians get that all the time. All the time.”
“Well, I was going to say – is that that big a deal?” Richard then asked, to which Andrew responded: “No.”
But on social media, fans are angry - and have called for GMB to sack him and replace him as host.
One viewer fumed: "Richard Idiot …diminishing death threats …(incited by the Prime Minister ), against the Keir Starmer. Sack the moron !"
"Just get rid of the dope. He really is a weak bucket," said another.
One user fumed: "Death threats are not trivial and should be taken seriously. @GMB now need to sack Richard Madeley."
"Sack that Richard presenter," another wrote.

Another said: "Omg that pathetic attempt at
