Richard Madeley has admitted his mum hated him for a decision he made in his younger years during a recent instalment of Good Morning Britain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of Thursday’s (August 14) episode of the ITV<\/a> show, which saw viewers call Richard ‘disrespectful’ this week,<\/a> the 69-year-old presenter highlighted the students awaiting their A-Level results.<\/p>\n

While speaking to his co-star Charlotte Hawkins, he questioned: “What did you get, Charlie?” She replied: “I got three A’s”<\/p>\n

Richard joked: “Oh there’s always one isn’t there?!” However, she confessed those were not her predicted grades and the didn’t do that well in her mocks.<\/p>\n

She said: “We all went to the school to get them, it was really special and I was not expecting that at all. I think having not done very well when it came to the mock exams obviously gave me some impetus to think, ‘Well, I need to get cracking on this. ‘”<\/p>\n

During the conversation, the attention turned to Richard, who revealed he had left school at a young age.<\/p>\n

When Charlotte asked how he had done in his exams, he replied: “Well, I left school at 16 to join the local paper. My mum thought it was a very bad move, my dad thought it was great.<\/p>\n

“My mum hated me as I started work when I was 16 and she insisted that I go to night school and take A-Levels there. So, I took an English A-Level and I got a B, I think.”<\/p>\n

However, the veteran presenter highlighted that by the time he took the exam, he was two years into his role at the paper, which marked the beginning of his career.<\/p>\n

It seemed as though Richard made the right move as he had risen to assistant editor and joined the BBC<\/a> by the age of 19.<\/p>\n

However, in the past, the ITV star has reflected on the tough time he had while at school.<\/p>\n

During a discussion on Good Morning Britain, he detailed being targeted by bullies. At the time, he said: “I was at school long before social media and I got really badly bullied through the first two years of my Grammar School, when I was about 12 and 13 years old.<\/p>\n

“I dread to think had we been online as well, it just would have been a nightmare.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t report it. It was a sense of shame, not a sense of fear, that I was being targeted.”<\/p>\n
