GMB viewers have noted how the professional chatters often talk over each other - and how Kate can become vexed by her sidekick.
One user flagged up on X: "Kate really does get irritated by Richard. So obvious."
A second noted: "Well done Richard on remaining calm when Kate talked over him a couple of times there."
A third penned: "How many times can Kate cut Richard off in mid sentence? He starts to speak, she interrupts him."

Another disagreed and commended: "Richard has a calming influence on Kate, it’s lovely."
The TV host, 57, told magazine recently about the upcoming festive holiday with her children - and the first without her beloved husband.
“It’s been a tough few years for them,” she said about Darcey, 18, and son Billy, 15.
Kate admitted: "This Christmas will be difficult, as all the firsts are, but I’ve said to the kids, ‘Let’s do what feels right, do some new things and make new memories.’

"You’ve got to try and let things evolve into new memories, and I’m going to be led by them.
"It will be our first Christmas without Derek, but to be honest, the last four or five Christmases have been challenging, although we’ve also had the joy of having Derek there with us.

"I hope I won’t be blubbing all day, but I’m sure there will be emotional moments.
"However, I want it to be fun and happy for Darcey and Billy because it’s been a tough few years for them. Maybe they’ll think, ‘At least Dad’s out of pain.’"
Kate's husband Derek Draper died at 56 in January after a lengthy Covid battle.
Derek was left fighting for his life in hospital after suffering a heart attack over the festive period but was already one of the UK's longest-suffering Covid patients after being diagnosed in March 2020.
She paid a touching tribute to her late spouse at his funeral in February and, just days later, made her brave GMB return.
