Sunday Brunch viewers joked that Richard Madeley “kickstarted” their morning by sharing that he was going commando.
The TV presenter, 66, was on the programme on Sunday and quickly fessed up about his underwear situation.
Presenters Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer were joking about how Richard has previously said he prefers to be au naturale under his suits.
“Have you come commando Richard Madeley this morning?” they asked.
And the Good Morning Britain star admitted: “Yeah!”
Laughing, he went on: “I would not volunteer this information but you’ve put me on the spot on network television. What am I supposed to do, lie?”
Fans were thoroughly amused.
“Richard Madeley admitting he always goes commando within the first 2 minutes of @SundayBrunchC4 has really kickstarted my morning,” one person tweeted.
“Only five minutes in and you can tell it’s going to be a cracker of a show today,” quipped another.
However, not everyone felt the same way about it.
Someone else joked: “Richard Madeley announcing on the TV that he goes commando is not what I want to hear before I’ve had coffee…. Or at anytime of the day actually.”
Another person posted: “I could have heaved at the revelation that Richard Madeley doesn’t wear underwear. Yuk yuk yukkety yuk.”
It’s well known that Madeley often ditches his boxers.
Opening up about it on GMB a few years back, he shared: “I have been (commando) forever. I can’t remember the last time I wore pants.”
Presenter Charlotte Hawkins chimed in: “Are you not worried you might split your trousers when you are out and about?”
“Well I suppose that’s the next embarrassment,” he joked.
“I could have walked around with my flies undone – that might be seriously embarrassing!” he added.
