"They expanded it for Covid didn't they? We had to expand it for miles and miles."
Susanna replied: "Despite my insistence we carry on sitting miles and miles apart they have brought us closer together."
Richard hit back: "I thought you'd be against it. You like your little bubble, don't you..."
Susanna agreed saying: "I do, I like holding everyone at arms' length."

She said: "Anyway, it's nice to have you back."
Richard recoiled and said: "Oh blimey, we can actually touch..."
Susanna remarked: "Just a shoulder tap."

Richard went on to explain about his two-month absence from the GMB hot-seat.
"I was finishing my novel and I just couldn't do this show and finish the novel at the same time," he admitted.
"I've done it and now I'm back."
Susanna said: "So you've given up life for the early shifts.
"Well, it's absolutely lovely to have you back."
She then congratulated him on becoming a granddad after daughter Chloe gave birth over the summer.
