Richard Madeley has been slammed by Good Morning Britain viewers.
The 66-year-old presenter was back on our screens on Wednesday (January 4) morning alongside co-host Susanna Reid.
They woke up the nation with the latest news headlines from across the world.

During the latest edition of the ITV breakfast show, the pair were joined by Dr Hilary Jones to discuss the NHS crisis.
However, fans were left reaching for the remote to turn over as they claimed Richard continued to cut in while Dr Hilary was trying to speak.
The GP talked about the overwhelmed NHS and decided to share messages he had seen in a WhatsApp group from NHS staff.
Dr Hilary began by reading one which said: “‘At our hospital, we have such a long wait to get into the acute medical unit that we have a junior doctor on the roster called ‘car triage’.
“This means they spend their whole shift checking on people waiting outside in their cars.'”
As he was about to comment and elaborate, Richard clarified: “Car triage?”

Hilary, 69, confirmed and was set to continue his point when Richard went on: “So hang on, a doctor specifically assigned to go out to the car park?”
“Yes, to check on people in cars because there’s no room in corridors…” the doctor explained.
“And that’s the only thing that they do on their shift? They’re in the car park?” the broadcaster added.
Dr Hilary later moved on to a new message, in which he explained how one concerned person had shared a story about staff being forced to kick a patient from a bed into a corridor to move a more critical patient into the room.
“So, they had a patient who was dying?” Susanna chimed.
“In a corridor,” Hilary confirmed to his ITV colleagues.
Susanna continued: “In the corridor, they had to remove a patient who was being cared for in a bed because they were in a better state so the dying patient could have a bed.”

As Dr Hilary’s chat with the hosts came to an end , some fans of the show wanted to hear more from him.
One fan moaned: “”Why does Richard Madeley make every news item about himself? So smarmy and irritating. Get rid. #GMB”
Another added: “It’s impossible to listen to. I’m switching over.”
A third person said: “Please stop talking over each other, it’s too early to have to listen to it and I have turned off!”
