Richard Madeley reveals his Good Morning Britain future is in doubt saying ‘who knows’ how long he’ll be on air
RICHARD Madeley has admitted his Good Morning Britain future is in doubt.
The presenter, 65, said "who knows" how long he'll be on air as he spoke about taking over Piers Morgan's slot.
After an incredible 46 years as a journalist, Richard joined Susanna Reid to present the breakfast show as a guest host, Monday to Wednesday every week.

Richard told the podcast while alongside his wife of 36 years: "This Morning is a hugely successful show today, but it's hugely different show to when Judy and I were on it, because Judy and I were trained journalists.

"We brought our newsroom experience with us and I'm not saying this made it any better, but it was more of a newsier show when we were doing it because our journalistic interests were piqued all the time on breaking stories."
This Morning is currently fronted by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby four days a week, with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary hosting on Fridays.
