Good Morning Britain (GMB) host Richard Madeley has taken a swipe at Prince Harry after the Royal appeared in a new advert for his travel firm Travalyst. Richard, 65, labelled Harry, 37, as "dreadful" and questioned why Travalyst ever released the footage. In the video Harry can be seen going for a run while wearing a ‘Girl Dad’ T-shirt, before being ambushed by ‘rating’ agents.The idea behind the comedy skit was to promote a project to assess travellers on how sustainable they are when they’re on holiday.

Appearing alongside the Harry were actors Rhys Darby, Dave Fane and Rena Owen. But after the advert went viral it became a source of mockery on Tuesday’s Good Morning Britain. Presenters Richard and Susanna Reid showed a snippet of the ad on the ITV programme, with Richard requesting to watch even more.

The host said: "This Prince Harry video. Shall we see a bit more? This is not going to get him a Bafta." After watching the footage for a bit longer, he remarked: "I think this headline sums it up: 'The Oscar for more toe-curling acting goes to Prince Hammy'. "It is dreadful, isn’t it? How did they even let that out?!" But Susanna, 51, defended Harry and reminded her colleague that he was spreading an important message which in her opinion had been conveyed clearly.

"He’s promoting something which is green and eco-conscious and really important, which is how it’s not just promoting travel companies and what they’re doing to save the environment," she said. "It’s all about rating travellers and as you heard from that, it got the point across! I understand exactly what he’s saying. "The number of towels you use, whether you leave the tap running…" According to Travalyst’s website, the "paternship" is "led" by Harry and
