Good Morning Britain presenters Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid were back on screen on Monday
Good Morning Britain star Richard Madeley received an outpouring of sympathy from his co-host as he opened up about a "painful" injury during Monday's show (June 9).
During today's instalment of the hit ITV news programme, Richard and his colleague Susanna Reid discussed the latest news from across the UK and around the world.
‌
They spoke about Greta Thunberg, who claims she and other activists have been "intercepted and kidnapped" after their Gaza aid boat was stopped by Israel.
‌
In addition, the presenters shed light on the NHS's urgent call for new blood donors amid warnings of critically low supplies.
Before delving into the day's main stories, Richard shared a personal misfortune, disclosing a double wrist fracture that occurred in France over the weekend, reports the Manchester Evening News.
" Good Morning Britain, it's just gone six o'clock, welcome to the programme," initiated Susanna, before noticing Richard's cast-covered wrist.
"Richard, you better explain. You've come back into the studio... That looks sore."
Richard recounted: "I thought you were gonna say, 'Did I have a good break?' Yeah, it's a double fracture of the wrist. I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France, actually, on Friday.
‌
"The pavement was loose and it flipped up and it flipped me forward, and I thought, 'Am I gonna win or is gravity gonna 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."
Susanna then probed: "Is it sore at the moment?" to which Richard firmly responded: "I'm not discussing the pain threshold. We don't think about pain."
‌
"Okay, we're just going to distract ourselves. It's good to have you back," Susanna added.
Richard concluded: "It's nice to be back," as Susanna wished him well, saying: "Let's hope you recover quickly."
In another segment of today's programme, Ranvir Singh delivered breaking news on anti-immigration raid protests happening in Los Angeles.
Correspondent Noel Phillips provided a live update from LA when a sudden loud bang interrupted the broadcast.
Ranvir assured viewers post-incident, clarifying: "Just to be clear, my producer is telling me that that was fireworks. Just want to make that clear for you, because it is obviously alarming to hear that kind of sound behind a live report."
