Richard Madeley says 'it's only telly' as he 'stands by' Holly Willoughby after reference in This Morning exit statement

Richard Madeley awkwardly avoided mentioning daughter Chloe Madeley's split from husband James Haskell as he presented on Good Morning Britain on Monday, 30 October.The longtime TV presenter's 36 year old daughter announced in a statement over the weekend that she and ex-rugby star James, 38, decided to split in September, amid rumours of strife in their marriage. Whilst Good Morning Britain often discusses the biggest news stories from the weekend, which today included the tragic death of Friends star Matthew Perry, as well as Rebecca Loos talking about her alleged affair with David Beckham, there was no mention of Chloe and James' split. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice the omission, as they took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to comment.

Chloe Madeley, 36, and James Haskell, 38, revealed in a joint statement that they had called time on their five year marriage.The former couple shared that they won't be "speaking about this matter publicly as it is private" as they "have a daughter to co parent." The split comes after Chloe was seen without her wedding ring, plus recent photographs that emerged of James partying with other women. Chloe's father, Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley, 67, was reportedly ready to address the issue before two announced their split.

Richard Madeley and James Haskell have had a few heated arguments over the years, with Richard even once telling the former rugby star to "f**k off". James, who confirmed his split from Richard's daughter Chloe Madeley on Saturday, 28 October, admitted earlier this year that he kicked out his father-in-law during the 2022 festive season for a "stress-free" Christmas dinner.The two men had a Boxing Day disagreement when they clashed over cooking.

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.

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.
