Richard Madeley sparks GMB fury with ‘inappropriate’ question to Lioness Alessia Russo
Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley has been called out for an "inappropriate" comment he made toward Lioness player Alessia Russo.

Richard Madeley’s cringiest gaffes as GMB host is coined the new Alan Partridge
When you think of Richard Madeley , you probably also think of Alan Partridge . The infamous socially inept and politically incorrect media personality - sorry, I'm talking about Partridge here - is known for his howling blunders. Over the years, Madeley has drawn parallels with Steve Coogan’s bumbling, tone-deaf comedy character thanks to his hilarious off-key takes on the latest news stories. The veteran host is a one-of-a-kind - and has built up a huge fan base for his unique way with words over the years. He took over presenting on GMB from Piers Morgan - another man who bears a close resemblance to Partridge. Previously Steve Coogan, who plays the bumbling personality on screen, admitted that he thought the pair were pretty similar. "I suppose if you fused Richard Madeley with Piers Morgan you might get close to who Partridge is at the moment,” he told Naga Munchetty on BBC Breakfast. The ITV star seems okay with this branding, as he told one local … [Read more...] about Richard Madeley’s cringiest gaffes as GMB host is coined the new Alan Partridge
Ben Shephard hits out at Tory MPs for empty chairing GMB amid forecast of ‘doomsday’ recession
Good Morning Britain host Ben Shephard has issued a plea to Tory MPs to ‘come and chat’ after an unknown minister shunned their spot on the programme on Friday morning. On Thursday, the Bank of England gave a ‘doomsday’ forecast, believing the country will enter a recession by Christmas which will last a total of 15 months . A recession is declared in the UK when the economy consistently shrinks for six months or more. Inflation is set to hit 13% by October. This was top of the list of the headlines on GMB on Friday morning, with both Charlotte Hawkins and Ben not downplaying the severity of the situation. Later on, in the programme, viewers were shown footage of an empty chair where a government minister would typically sit and answer questions. Ben said: ‘The government is facing criticism for being absent in a time of crisis. ‘We did invite a minister onto the show. Despite what we’ve just heard, they didn’t want to turn up. He explained the excuse … [Read more...] about Ben Shephard hits out at Tory MPs for empty chairing GMB amid forecast of ‘doomsday’ recession
GMB and Unite members reject council staff pay offer
Published 23 April 2021 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Members of the GMB and Unite unions in Scotland have voted to reject a pay offer to council workers. The proposed 2% increase with a guaranteed £800 rise for lower earners was rejected by 93% of GMB members and 83.3% from Unite who took part in their ballots. The unions said the votes increased the prospect of strike action this summer. Local authority body Cosla said the offer remained on the table while negotiations continued. The GMB, which represents 20,000 local government workers in services such as home care, refuse, school support, and roads and maintenance, is calling for a "significantly improved offer". The current offer would give those earning up to £25,000 an increase of 2% or £800, whichever was greater, while those in the £25,000 to £40,000 band would receive 2% and those earning up to £80,000 … [Read more...] about GMB and Unite members reject council staff pay offer
Richard Madeley suggests huge shake-up to Love Island as he returns to GMB
RICHARD Madeley has pitched for Love Island to be bumped up to ITV after the series final last night. The Good Morning Britain host has famously shunned the hit reality show and even threatened to leave the country to avoid the frenzy. Today he made a U-turn after the 2022 final aired last night and put it to viewers that the show should be given recognition on ITV's prime channel. Speaking to Showbiz Editor Richard Arnold, the TV veteran said: "Richard, given it’s been such a success. The ratings - they’ve never had ratings like it - do you think they’ll bring it over to ITV one?" His colleague replied: "Well that’s a very good point. But ITV2 seems like a natural home for the demographic, don’t you think?" Madeley wasn't convinced and continued: "Well I don't know, it’s getting so big."

Love Island’s Jacques O’Neill completely avoids mentioning Paige Thorne during GMB interview
Jacques O’Neill addressed his Love Island on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain but made no mention of his former love interest Paige Thorne . The 23-year-old rugby player removed himself from the ITV2 series last month after spending several days attempting to win Paige back following his Casa Amor antics being exposed. Before deciding to leave the show, Jacques came close to having a physical argument with new bombshell Adam Collard , who ended up winning his ex’s affections and exiting with her in fourth place. In tearful scenes, the islander explained his difficult decision for quitting, while giving his blessing for Paige to carry on, and promising to be waiting for her at the airport. However, after it became more apparent that she was heading for a romance with Adam, he removed all trace from her on his social media.

Good Morning Britain host Ben Shephard toasted 25 years with his wife Annie - with some boozy cocktails.
