Richard Madeley was forced to apologise to Kate Garraway after interrupting her live broadcast on Good Morning Britain.
On Tuesday’s show, the two hosts were in charge of a piece about Ryanair’s contentious check-in process, which has left many passengers angry over having to spend £55 to print a boarding card at the airport.
They had been discussing a case involving an elderly couple who had been charged £110 for downloading the wrong passes before their journey, causing Kate to read aloud a statement from the airline.
She read: ‘A Ryanair spokesman defended the decision and then when it was queried they then upheld it.
‘They said, “As per Ryanair’s terms and conditions, these passengers agree to at the time of booking. They failed to check in online for their outbound flight despite being advised so by email the day of travel.”‘
Butting in, Richard, 67, commented: ‘Excuse me, who checks terms and conditions on a flight, who actually does that? I can only think of one instance…’
Kate, 56, snapped back and remarked: ‘Can I just finish the sentence?
‘Oh sorry, yes…,’ Richard apologised.
The Life Stories presenter continued: ‘Sorry just so that we are being all fair and impartial. Therefore will correctly charge the airport check-in fee of £55 per passenger.’
‘So, somewhere in those terms and conditions of Ryanair’s policies, they will have made that clear.’

ITV viewers noticed the altercation and rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to comment.
One remarked: ‘Someone give Madeley the hook. Constantly interrupting everyone. I think Kate Garraway will let rip soon.’
‘Kate not liking being interrupted… lolz #GMB,’ another shared, while a third joked: ‘LET ME SPEAK – Kate.’
It’s not the first time Richard has come under criticism from viewers this week, with many criticising him on Monday for reading out inaccurate statements about immigration without fact-checking.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
