GMB: Susanna Reid comments on Nella Rose’s IAC arguments<\/h3>\n

Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has broken her silence following calls for her co-presenter Richard Madeley to be “sacked” from the ITV show.<\/p>\n

Susanna, 52, stood up and supported Richard while claiming he was a \u201clegend\u201d. The pair often present the ITV breakfast show which airs from 6am until 9am on weekdays, where they discuss news and current affairs.<\/p>\n

During a recent appearance on GMB, Richard left viewers enraged after he asked a proactive question when discussing the conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Fans were sent into meltdown and at the time, called for the 67-year-old to be “sacked” from the show.<\/p>\n

However, in a new interview, Susanna stood up for Richard and said he brings \u201cso much to the programme, including a really loyal audience\u201d.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Sun she said: \u201cRichard Madeley is a legend in broadcasting. He\u2019s the founder of This Morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been doing it longer than any of us and he\u2019s got a particular way with politicians.”<\/p>\n

Referencing his infamous interview with the former defence secretary she added: \u201cIf they don\u2019t want to answer the questions, he\u2019ll end the interview \u2013 he did it with Gavin Williamson”.<\/p>\n

Richard who is known for his strong choice of words has been the face of ITV since the 80\u2019s. In 1988 he presented This Morning alongside his wife Judy until 2001. Then they went on to have their own chat show Richard and Judy until 2009.<\/p>\n
