Good Morning Britain viewers all said the same thing as Richard Madeley returned to the programme on Monday. During the opening of Monday’s (August 11) instalment of the popular ITV show, Richard sat alongside co-presenter Kate Garraway<\/a><\/p>\n

The TV duo brought audiences up to speed with the day’s current affairs. They explored whether motorists<\/a> aged over 70 might face road bans if they don’t pass mandatory vision checks, plus the possibility of installing blade detectors in all British schools.<\/p>\n

Richard and Kate<\/a> also delved into the surge in retail theft nationwide as part of the ongoing headlines. Studio guest Laura Tobin delivered regular meteorological bulletins, whilst Marverine Cole handled the remaining daily headlines.<\/p>\n

Whilst tuning in, numerous ITV watchers spotted that this marked Richard’s first appearance following his three-week summer holiday, as reported by the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One viewer posted on Twitter: “Madeley’s back,” with someone else commenting: “Madeley back on presenting.” A third remarked: “Oh Joy. Madeley,” whilst a fourth audience member similarly posted: “Richard Madeley<\/a> back on @gmb.”<\/p>\n

A fifth supporter mirrored this feeling, stating: “Happy Days, our own Walter Mitty Richard Madeley.” The previous month saw Richard confirm his upcoming getaway, just a few days after main presenter Susanna Reid declared her summer hiatus from the programme.<\/p>\n

GMB has subsequently featured different presenters filling their roles, including Charlotte Hawkins, Ranvir Singh, and Adil Ray. On Monday’s programme, August 11, Richard and Kate discussed Former First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon’s exclusive ITV News interview before the launch of her forthcoming memoir.<\/p>\n

In conversation with Julie Etchingham, Nicola pondered on the day she was arrested in 2023, alongside her sexuality and previous legislative decisions.<\/p>\n

Yet, GMB viewers seemed less than impressed by the prominence of the interview on the show, with one viewer commenting on Twitter: “Christ, is there any news?”.<\/p>\n

Another chimed in with: “Any other news?” while a third queried: “Why is an interview with Sturgeon a big thing?”.<\/p>\n

In an excerpt of her new memoir, Frankly, published by The Times, the former first minister of Scotland spoke about some of the hardest moments of her life, as well as conflicted feelings over motherhood and sexuality.<\/p>\n

The former First Minister has opened up about her arrest, describing in her new book how mentally testing the police investigation was – and saying she thought about disappearing into the North Sea.<\/p>\n

She said it was one of the toughest days she had ever had when she was arrested and questioned by the police following the arrest of her ex-husband and the Scottish National Party (SNP) treasurer.<\/p>\n

Peter Murrell, the former chief executive officer of the SNP, was arrested in 2023 and later charged with embezzlement, after his and Ms Sturgeon\u2019s home was searched by police looking into what happened to \u00a3660,000 of donations to the party.<\/p>\n
