Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley leaves studio as show interrupted

Richard Madeley made an unexpected exit from the Good Morning Britain studio on Tuesday. During the weather segment, Richard stepped outside to check if it was snowing - and to his delight, it was.

Upon his return, co-host Susanna Reid asked: "Richard, are you reporting from the scene? " To which Richard replied: "It is absolutely tipping down with snow outside; it has just started about five minutes ago after you first spoke...nothing, and suddenly it has happened," He added: "We will show you the pictures in a minute, it is really heavy."

Susanna then suggested: "Can I recommend that next time you go out with a coat."

Richard laughed and responded: "This is live television, Susanna, every minute counts, there was no time to put a coat on. I suffer for the news."

Following this unexpected moment, viewers took to social media to share their own videos and pictures of snow in their areas. One viewer wrote: "Snowing where I live as well now after a night of heavy rain," while another shared: "We have snow in Hertfordshire and it's settling," and a third added: "Snowing in Billericay, Essex.", reports the Mirror.

Later in the show, Richard left Susanna shaking her head after he "broke" a rule during a discussion about Ed Sheeran's recent comments regarding the upcoming 40th anniversary re-release of Band Aid.

The singer, who appeared on the charity single in 2014, admitted he would've declined to have his vocals used for the track.

Sir Bob Geldof has been vocal about the backlash, with Susanna Reid informing ITV viewers that he hasn't minced his words on the subject. "He's been very trenchant, we can't repeat them but he's basically said, 'if this is patronising colonial my backside'. Except he didn't say backside, it rhymes with farts," Richard explained.

Susanna Reid couldn't contain her reaction to her co-presenter's blunt paraphrasing, leading to a burst of laughter and a facepalm moment. She responded: "I'm not sure we avoided the Ofcom ruling on that one! ".
