Calamitous GMB presenter Richard Madeley says his wife understands when he messes up on the show because she has “been there” before.
Speaking to Kate Thornton on White Wine Question Time, Madeley said Judy Finnigan has built an “instant understanding” of his blunders from years of working together in TV.
He said: “I’ll talk about a cock-up that I’ve made, I’ve said something that I shouldn’t have done [and] I’m going to have to bloody deal with tomorrow. She gets it. You know, she’s been there. She’s been there with me.”
Recently, Madeley has stirred controversy over ‘insensitive’ rape questions and perplexed viewers (as well as his co-presenter) over comments about Scarlett Moffatt’s faith.
But it was his interrogation of a young climate activist that really got people talking.
