Richard Madeley appears on Good Morning Britain with fractured wrist
Richard Madeley revealed on Monday's Good Morning Britain that he suffered a double fracture of his wrist after falling on a loose pavement in France.
Susanna Reid introduced the show and acknowledged Madeley's injury, to which he responded with a joke about whether he had a good break.
Madeley quipped, "I'm not discussing the pain threshold. We don't think about pain," when Reid asked if his injury was sore.
This isn't the first time Madeley has discussed falling; in December 2022, he slipped while getting out of his car when presenting live from Whiston Hospital.
On the same episode, Madeley and Reid discussed Greta Thunberg's aid boat being boarded by Israeli forces while travelling to Gaza.

Inside Persian Princess Iman Pahlavi's fairytale Parisian wedding to American businessman Bradley Sherman as late Shah's granddaughter says 'I do'
Princess Iman Pahlavi, the granddaughter of the last Shah of Iran, has tied the knot with her long-time boyfriend in the City of Love after the couple's court marriage in New York. Iman, 31, and American Jewish businessman Bradley Sherman said 'I do' in a private ceremony in Paris as members of the Iranian royal family gathered in the French capital to bless the newlyweds on June 8. The daughter of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and Princess Yasmine Pahlavi, Iman wore an ethereal, off-shoulder Elie Saab gown with detacheable sleeves as her American beau picked a black tuxedo for the day. According to Iranian media outlet Kayhan Life, the ceremony was attended by Queen Farah - who was 21 when she married Shah Mohammad Reza in Tehran in 1959 - as well as 'prominent Iranian figures'. The first images from the couple's lavish Parisian wedding were posted on Instagram by Iman's sister Noor Pahlavi and other attendees, with Iman reposting the snaps on her own social media accounts. US-born Iman, who works as a senior manager at American Express in New York, walked down the aisle with her father - Iran's former crown prince Reza. One picture showed Bradley, who is the CEO of tech firm Luchy, looking lovingly at his new bride, while another was captured during the couple's first dance as husband and wife. The venue was transformed into an enchanted forest for the reception, with Iman changing into a strapless gown - also from Elie Saab - for the post-wedding festivities. Iman, 31, and American Jewish businessman Bradley Sherman said 'I do' in a private ceremony in Paris as members of the Iranian royal family gathered in the French capital to bless the newlyweds on June 8 The white dress, with a fitted corset top, was adorned with strings of pearls that glistened under the lights as Iman and Bradley were hoisted on chairs for the traditional Jewish 'chair dance' during the reception party. In another picture, the bride and groom can be seen standing in front of their massive wedding cake, covered with what appears to be a bed of raspberries, as their guests can be seen cheering for the couple. Prior to their Paris ceremony, Iman and Bradley registered their marriage at a New York courthouse - with the Persion princess picking white halterneck midi dress by Rosie Assoulin. She paired the floral print dress with white pumps and a bejewelled cross strap, and opted to for a chic, low ponytail hairstyle for the occasion. The wedding comes nearly two years after Iman's family revealed she was engaged to Bradley, who is originally from Arizona, in an Instagram post. Iman, then 29, appeared full of joy in loved-up photos taken during the romantic beach proposal. Shots of the tender moment showed Bradley down on one knee, surrounded by torches and flower petals, as a visibly emotional Iman covered her face in surprise. Other snaps picture them embracing by the shore, and posing with family members including her parents Yasmine and Reza - the former Crown Prince of Iran - and her sisters Noor and Farah. 'Our sweet Iman got engaged this weekend,' Yasmine wrote in a joint Instagram post with her husband. 'She and Bradley have been dating for three years. 'We've watched their relationship blossom and are so happy that they have made a commitment to share their lives together.' The couple first met in 2017 through mutual friends, EUROdayFR reported, and are understood to have moved in together during the Covid-19 pandemic. While the New York wedding was much more low-key, the Parisian celebrations were in line with the family's history of elaborate, grandiose celebrations. In 1959, her grandfather Mohammad Reza Shah - the last Shah of Iran - had a lavishly memorable wedding to the 21-year-old Farah Diba, while he was 40. As a young Queen of Iran, Farah's December 1959 wedding was the object of much curiosity and received worldwide press attention. Her gown was designed by Yves Saint Laurent, then a designer at the house of Dior, and she wore the newly commissioned Noor-ol-Ain Diamond tiara. The couple went on to have four children: Crown Prince Reza, Princess Farahnaz, Prince Ali, and Princess Leila. Part of Farah's appeal to the Shah had been her Western education and understanding of culture. Together, the pair claimed they would usher in a 'golden age of Iran.' During her time as a royal, Farah took an active interest in promoting culture and the arts in Iran. Through her patronage, numerous organisations were created and fostered to further her ambition of bringing historical and contemporary Iranian Art to prominence both inside Iran and in the Western world. Under her guidance, the museum of modern art acquired nearly 150 works by such artists as Pablo Picasso, Monet and Andy Warhol. In 2022, Farah recalled her shock over her country's 1979 Islamic Revolution - and labelled it 'unbelievable' following her 43 years in exile. In an interview for Town&Country, Farah, 84, who was dubbed the Jackie Kennedy of the Middle East during her heyday, opened up about the overthrowing of her late husband Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In 1979 the Shah, whose family had already fled to Egypt, was deposed and replaced with the hardline Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini - a shift that would have long-lasting and far-reaching implications. With his liberalising reforms and harsh treatment of his political opponents, the Shah made an enemy of traditionalists in the country, and Khomeini, who had been living in exile in France, successfully returned and announced the creation of an Islamic republic. The women's rights movement quickly regressed. Wearing the hijab was enforced, many of the liberties they had been granted were withdrawn and the female minister of education in Iran, Farrokhroo Parsa, was executed by firing squad. Recalling the revolution, Farah admitted: 'It was very sad, and very hard, and we couldn't understand why our people were going in this direction when Iran was doing so much and moving forward.' She added: 'I don't think that we didn't have problems. But even today, when I think about it, these were not problems to the point that they would lead to what happened. 'Countries change, governments that change for something better are not bad - but to go from Cyrus the Great to this is unbelievable.' But many are divided over the legacy of Farah and some consider her a modern-day Marie Antoinette who represented the worst excesses of the Shah's regime before the 1979 revolution. The most lavish parts of her legacy include an extravagant three-day party thrown in the Persepolis in October 1971 by her husband, with the couple flying in eighteen tons of food to celebrate Iran's 2,500th anniversary. Meanwhile Farah was also patron of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, in which she amassed an art collection, gathering modern pieces which would now be valued at $3billion. Farah's style, charm, and support of the arts, led her to be dubbed the 'Jackie Kennedy of the Middle East.' At the same time, the Shah was pushing the country to adopt Western-oriented secular modernisation, allowing some degree of cultural freedom. He believed the headscarf suppressed women and banned the hijab, and granted women the right to vote and an increasing number joined the workforce. Under the Shah, Iranians enjoyed the luxury of new colleges, universities and libraries. Secondary schools were free for all and financial support was extended to university students. However the Shah's determination to showcase an increasingly liberal and modern front to the world and ban on religious garments frustrated traditionalists in Iran. Under Pahlavi, there was a widespread censorship of the press. He repressed political dissent - and the crackdown on communists and Islamists led to many being imprisoned and tortured. People lived in fear of the Shah's secret police called SAVAK, which paralysed people from speaking out against the regime; such was the notoriety of their brutality. These factors, along with the Shah being perceived as a puppet of the USA and economic uncertainty, culminated in the monarchy being overthrown. The 1979 Iranian revolution saw the ousting of the Shah and the induction of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini - a shift that would have long-lasting and far-reaching implications. The Pahlavi family fled to Egypt before embarking on a 18-month search for permanent asylum through Morocco and the Bahamas. Finally they were granted asylum in Mexico but travelled to the US to seek medical assistance for the Shah's developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Their visit to the States worsened relations between the US and Iran and the couple were forced to flee to Egypt. Shah's health deteriorated and he died four months later in 27 July 1980. Farah stayed in the country for two years before flying back to the US, where she settled in Maryland.

Lorraine Kelly teases new project as co-star asks 'where have you been'
Lorraine Kelly, 65, was quizzed by her ITV co-star Ross King on Monday's show after she returned to the programme following a brief absence as she addressed her whereabouts Lorraine Kelly found herself explaining her recent absence from her ITV chat show during Monday's episode. In the latest segment, Lorraine, 65, shared with her audience: "Our Ross is in Los Angeles for us, later Ross. Crikey, it's tough times over there..." Ross King, reporting live from LA, chimed in: "It certainly is, real tough times, terrible rioting. I'll tell you more about that later." He then inquired: "Apart from all that, what about you, where have you been?" Lorraine replied: "Oh I've been in the far north, I've been so far north I nearly came back on myself. I'll tell you all about it. "I sadly can't say too much about it now. In a few weeks, I might be able to give you more hints. I can even show you some photos, it was life changing and amazing. I'll phone you later and tell you all about it." This follows Lorraine's announcement earlier in the month where she told fans and viewers: "BIG FILMING ADVENTURES!!!! Heading to the very far north - it's going to be amazing - see you in a week's time! #happy #arctic #filming #adventures #exploration #joy", sharing she would be having a brief break from Lorraine. The conversation comes amid ITV's announcement last month of significant changes to the scheduling and production of its daytime programmes, which include a major revamp for Lorraine's show. From January 2026, Good Morning Britain will be extended by half an hour to run from 6am to 9.30am daily, and will be produced by ITV News at ITN at their Gray's Inn Road base in London. Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will still be produced by ITV Studios and will be broadcast from a new location in central London. In the 2026 daytime schedule for ITV, Lorraine will air from 9.30am to 10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year which aligns with the lead daytime presenters who host their shows around a seasonal pattern rather than throughout the year. During the weeks when Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am. This Morning will keep its 10am to 12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year, while Loose Women will occupy the 12.30 to 1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year - the schedule it held for over a decade until 2016.

Richard Madeley presents Good Morning Britain in wrist cast
The 69-year-old was asked how he got the injury by co-host Susanna Reid, who remarked 'that looks sore', at the start of Monday's edition of the ITV morning show. Richard explained to Susanna and viewers that he had in fact injured himself while in France. He said: 'It's a double fracture of the wrist. I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France, actually, on Friday, and the pavement was loose, and it flipped up and it flipped me forward, and I thought, am I going to win or is gravity going to win? And gravity won. 'I hit the ground hard, so yeah, I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes.' Reid then asked whether it was still sore to which her co-host replied: 'I'm not discussing the pain threshold.' In Monday's show, Madeley's cast could be seen as the two went on to discuss Greta Thunberg's aid boat which had been travelling to Gaza and has been boarded by Israeli forces, as well as the NHS's recent calls for a million new blood donors to come forward, and protests in Los Angeles.
