Richard Madeley's message of support to Phillip Schofield revealed after This Morning axe

Good Morning Britain returned to screens on Thursday with Kate Garraway and Adil Ray. Host Richard Madeley was absent from the breakfast programme after it was revealed the show was hit with 2,300 Ofcom complaints over his comments on Hamas.

Good Morning Britain fans have accused Richard Madeley of being 'insensitive' with his line of questioning while interviewing a Corrie star. Actor Peter Ash, 38, is currently playing MND sufferer Paul Foreman on the ITV soap.

UK media regulator Ofcom has revealed that it received nearly 2,400 complaints after Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley asked a British lawmaker with family in Gaza if there was “any word on the street” before Hamas launched its attack on Israel.

Chloe Madeley fuelled fans’ concerns last week when she was spotted on a night out without her wedding ring – as her relationship with husband James Haskell came under the microscope. The couple had daughter Bodhi 14 months ago, but the switch to parenthood doesn’t seem to have slowed down James’ party lifestyle.

Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley has sparked backlash after asking a British-Palestinian MP if she was aware of Hamas' plans to conduct their terror attack in Israel before it happened. MP Layla Moran - the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs - appeared as a guest on the early-morning news programme today to discuss the war in the Middle East. It wasn't long into the conversation with lead host Susanna Reid that Layla - whose family are currently trapped in Gaza as Israel prepare a full invasion of the disputed land - was left taken aback by a remark made by Richard.

Richard Madeley has faced calls to be axed from Good Morning Britain over his 'insensitive' question to a guest.

Richard Madeley confirmed the arrival of his fifth grandchild in a sweet tribute on Good Morning Britain on Monday. The TV presenter, 67, announced the happy news on the ITV show, revealing his son Jack, 37, welcomed his second child with wife Issy around five days ago. Doting grandfather Richard shared the happy news with co-host Susanna Reid, 52, after she said: "And you've been adding to your family, haven't you Richard?" Richard, who shares children Jack and Chloe with wife Judy Finnigan, 75, then responded: "Well I have to say, yes.

Bosses at ITV are said to be considering moving Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard from their regular presenting position at Good Morning Britain, with the pair potentially fronting This Morning instead.The This Morning team have reportedly entered discussions with Kate, 56, and Ben, 48, following Holly Willoughby's resignation from the show. Ben recently hosted an episode of This Morning alongside Holly back in September and has since confirmed that he will be appearing on the show a few more times in the run-up to Christmas. And it seems that his longtime GMB co-host Kate could be joining him on the This Morning sofas.

It's been a tough year for This Morning, with the show seeing more presenter switch ups in the last six months than it has over its three decade plus run. Just yesterday, national treasure Holly Willoughby shocked the nation by stepping down from her role after 14 years as she said goodbye to the iconic sofa for good.The 42 year took to Instagram to announce her departure, sharing that she made the decision for "me and my family." But of course, long before Holly arrived on the scene, This Morning was home to a string of iconic presenters, some who served long stints and others who swiftly moved on to pastures new.

Good Morning Britain presenter Ben Shephard has broken his silence on the possibility of joining the This Morning team on a more permanent basis, after stepping in to co-host the show last month following the departure of Phillip Schofield. Since Phillip left the ITV daytime show in May after admitting to having an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger colleague, Holly Willoughby has been joined by a number of guest co-stars including Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle.

Richard Madeley, who formerly hosted This Morning, has revealed he is still in contact with good pal Phillip Schofield who stepped back from all his roles at ITV following a confirmed affair with a younger male colleague.

Richard Madeley has revealed he’s been left with hearing issues after contracting Covid. The Good Morning Britain presenter contracted a strain of Covid which has left him with ongoing complications, after he suffered a perforated eardrum.
