No-one brings chaotic energy to our screens quite like Richard Madeley, and we love him for it.
Whenever it’s announced that Richard is stepping in on Good Morning Britain, you just know there’ll be some TV gold on the way.
He’s more Alan Partridge than a millennium barn dance at Yeovil aerodrome hosted by Jet from Gladiators, and Richard has been bringing us some of the most inexplicable and utterly unmissable TV moments for years.
For confessions on going commando to vein-popping rants, he’s brought us so many brilliant exchanges down the years – some of which have to be seen to be believed.
These are his most hectic moments on Good Morning Britain.
The fake tan disaster
In scenes recalling classic Friends episode The One With Ross’s Tan, Richard was left ‘looking like Donald Trump’ after having an absolute disaster with his fake tan.
During an episode of Good Morning Britain – which Richard later described as the ‘most embarrassing’ moment of his TV career – the presenter mistakenly used fake tan after first waking up after looking to borrow his daughter Chloe’s moisturiser.
Explaining the gaffe, he said: ‘3.30am in the kitchen, my face was dry from shaving, I put on some moisturiser, got in the car, drove in.
‘Flash forward to 8am and I could hear the director in the gallery whispering to people and there was giggling going on.
‘They said, “You’re trending Richard.” And I said, “Why?” And they said, because you’re going darker and darker and darker. I had. I was doing a Donald Trump!’
He added: ‘It turned out, what I’d done is, at 3am, I’d put my daughter’s artificial tan on and it was strong stuff. It was humiliating. But the attention that that got! That’s funny and it was very funny.’
