Yet fans of the early-morning show were left worried after noting the broadcaster was clad with a huge cast on his right arm.
The white plaster support could be seen peeking out of Richard's smart black suit as he fronted Good Morning Britain from his regular spot on the desk.
Others also noted his voice sounded husky and "digitised" amid his injury woe, which he outlined at the top of the show.
Susanna said: "Richard you better explain," to which he replied: "I thought you were going to say did I have a good break!"

After the pair giggled, he continued: "It's a double fracture of the wrist.
"I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France on Friday, and the pavement was loose.
"It flipped up and it flipped me forward and I thought am I going to win or will gravity win?
"And gravity won and I hit the ground hard.

"So yeah I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes."
After issuing a supportive "aww," Susanna then quizzed: Is it sore at the moment?"

The brave host said: "I'm not discussing the pain threshold we just don't think about pain."

TOUGH TIME
The injury comes amid a rough time for Richard and a slew of ITV broadcasters.
It comes amid a huge shake up of the daytime TV offering at the channel.
We were first to report how
In May, sources say Richard was told his contract, worth a reported £300,000 a year, would not be renewed on current terms when it expires in December.
He hit back and negotiated a new deal with bosses — but it will mean a significant cut in his hours and pay.
A source said: 'This one has really rocked the ITV corridors because Richard is such a big name and a legend of daytime telly.
it became apparent Richard had a meeting with the network's most senior bosses and he's now being kept on in a more part-time role.
'He's got himself back on the show — but his hours are significantly cut.'
Richard made an unexpected return to daytime telly in 2021 after Piers Morgan left GMB in a row over Harry and Meghan.
He had co-hosted ITV's This Morning with wife Judy Finnigan for 13 years from 1988 to 2001.
They had been the golden couple of daytime telly and it was thought both were happy to enjoy retirement at their homes in London and Cornwall.
But
He quickly established himself as a popular face on the breakfast show, building up a warm rapport with his co-host and taking on the main male anchor role.
TV SHAKE UP
Former MP Ed is set to be kept on, despite some viewers criticising the show for having a conflict of interest when he has been interviewing his former Labour political colleagues.
Ed, who became a presenter on the GMB rota in 2022, has been pulled out of the studio in recent months when there is an interview with his wife, Home Secretary
ITV bosses announced that Lorraine, shown on weekdays from 9am to 10am, would
GMB will also be extended.

After walking away with some bites, they then caught some fireworks going off in the nearby theme park. The kids then seemed thrilled as they got super-sized slushy drinks to enjoy. This follows the Radfords having a More on the Radfords Despite telling The Daily Mirror they have been "feeling the pinch" financially, they said they planned to spare no expense on the holiday of a lifetime.

Millie Radford sparks concern of the family feud reigniting as she says she wants to go 'home' during Florida holiday It's not known if the whole family is back out for their second visit. £20k park tickets Based on the cost of a seven-day Disney visit, which would require each guest to hold a 7-Day Magic Ticket for entrance, Sue and Noel could have forked out £20,065 for each of their Florida trips this year. Luckily for Sue and Noel, children under the age of three go free. So some of the children on the trip won't cost a penny to get into the park. The tickets include access to the park and water parks with the eligibility to enter multiple parks per day. Holders will also have the 'memory maker' package which includes unlimited Disney photopass downloads - pictures taken by photographers around the park, on rides and in restaurants . 7 Sue shared how they visited an epic cake shop at Disney during this trip Credit: Instagram 7 The kids seemed thrilled at stocking up on some tasty treats Credit: Instagram £6k accommodation Sue and Noel have spoken about their approach to holiday accommodation previously, while appearing on the This Morning show - they revealed they usually opt for a villa to save costs and ensure the bunch can bunk close together.

The older kids, who are working at least part-time, don't get a free ride as they're made to pay a small amount of rent to their parents. "Us older ones do pay a little bit of board. Granted it's not a lot but I'm also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.' their daughter Sue added: "We've always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we'd rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer. 'I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We've always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.' They also revealed they make money from brand partnerships on social media. The Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue have been paid less than £10,000 for each show.
