It came as Richard addressed his future on the ITV series amid feud rumours
RICHARD Madeley left Good Morning Britain viewers - as well as co-host Susanna Reid - completely stunned with a rude blunder live on the ITV show.

As Richard linked from a previous segment about Barney the Dinosaur's return to TV, he said: "He's been around as long as dinosaurs, he's Andi Pen..." before swiftly correcting himself to "Peters."
Susanna, 53, fearing a crude mishap live on air, could be seen with her eyes wide in shock as Tuesday's show played out.
Andi, who heard the almost-blunder, then giggled and said: "Susanna, your face was as shocked as mine, thinking 'is he actually going to go there?'"
Later, in the final segment of Good Morning Britain, Richard insisted he wasn't aware of his blunder until it was flagged.

Another mused: "We've gone from Barney from Wish, to Andi Peters near a waterfall," as another commented: "It was the look on Susanna's face!"
An ITV viewer then posted: "Gave me a giggle, poor Andi!"
