Host Richard Madeley<\/a> issued a health update while working on Wednesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain<\/a>. The 69-year-old, who works alongside Susanna Reid<\/a>, 54, sparked concern as his voice sounded different from normal.<\/p>\n

The smooth talker was sounding quite husky and run-down, with him seemingly struggling to talk. As he tried to introduce a new segment of the ITV show<\/a>, about Reform UK’s new party chairman, Susanna teased: “If we can still hear you that is.” Richard laughed before explaining that he is doing everything he can to make it better.<\/p>\n

He shared: “Well, I’m just trying honey and water, which someone suggested to me. Someone said ‘give him some honey in hot water’, so yeah maybe.” Susanna replied: “We can try and get Laura [Tobin] to send some lavender honey from where she is.”<\/p>\n

Then Richard surprisingly issued an apology, saying: “Well if it’s annoying you, I’m really sorry. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.” His co-star replied: “No, it’s not, don’t worry.” But Richard quipped: “You can’t even hear what I’m saying, it’s great, they’ll love it!”<\/p>\n

As well as his voice sounding different, Madeley has also been presenting the ITV show this week with a cast on his arm. While he has been trying to hide it, the end of it has still been seen poking out of the sleeve of his smart suit jacket.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Susanna joked as she demanded: “Richard, you better explain. You’ve come back into the studio… That looks sore.” He replied in jest, saying: “I thought you were going to say did I have a good break!” They both laughed before he added: “It’s a double fracture of the wrist.”<\/p>\n

“I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France on Friday, and the pavement was loose,” he shared. “It flipped up and it flipped me forward and I thought am I going to win or will gravity win? And gravity won and I hit the ground hard. So yeah I’ve got a double fracture and we’ll see how it goes.”<\/p>\n

Concerned, Susanna asked if it was sore. Richard replied: “I’m not discussing the pain threshold, we just don’t think about pain.” “Okay, we’re just going to distract ourselves. It’s good to have you back,” Susanna added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Host Richard Madeley issued a health update while working on Wednesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain.
