Richard Madeley has come under fire for his interview technique during his latest appearance on Good Morning Britain. The presenter was back fronting the ITV news programme alongside co-host Charlotte Hawkins on Wednesday (August 10).
The pair were joined live in the GMB studio by Robin Stanton-Gleaves who was on the show to discuss the horrifying death of a family friend which hit the headlines last month, British tourist Jack Fenton was killed by helicopter blades while in Greece.
