Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley shares 'sore' injury minutes into show
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."

Loose Women star admits 'I always loathed it' as she shares issue with ITV show
Loose Women presenter Carol McGiffin has hit out at ITV bosses over a rule she was forced to follow during her time on the show, which used to make her "shudder" Carol McGiffin, 64, has criticised ITV's Loose Women bosses for their approach to dressing the show's presenters. She expressed her disapproval of the enforced dress codes and how the presenters transitioned from wearing what they wanted, to being instructed on what to wear for coordination. She was also left concerned about the amount of clothing waste, claiming that some clothes were discarded even if they'd only been worn once. Carol had two stints on Loose Women, first from 2000 until 2013, and then again from 2018 until 2023. In an article for Best UK, she stated: "I did Loose Women for almost 20 years and the mandated dress codes used to exhaust me. "We went from wearing our own clothes to being bought stuff to adhere to ludicrous wardrobe policies like 'no arms on show', presumably because our ageing biceps were morphing into bingo wings. "I always loathed being 'dressed' or 'styled' as they preferred to call it. You always had to be coordinated up to the eyeballs in nice slacks, wrap dresses or boiler suits. "It used to make me shudder, nearly as much as the insane amount of waste on unimaginable amounts of clothes that had mostly only been worn once", she added. This isn't the first time Carol has spoken out about Loose Women in recent years. In a conversation with Woman's Own last year, she discussed her reasons for leaving and her feelings about the career move. She said: "I don't regret leaving, I don't fit in there anymore." Her sentiments mirror a previous statement made to OK! Magazine, where she also said: "Someone, somewhere will be offended by absolutely everything. I'd rather not be on a show that panders to that. It's boring – and I won't be told what I can or can't say." Although she has parted ways with the show, Carol remains in contact with some of her former colleagues, having warmer relationships with a select few. She explained: "I'm still very good friends with a lot of the Loose ladies... Denise Welch popped down here with Lincoln [Townley, her husband] last year and we met them for lunch. I've seen Kaye [Adams], Jane [Moore] and Nadia [Sawalha] a few times." Carol added: "Some, I have nothing in common with. As I said to them, 'You're not friends, you're just people I work with, who I really like.' Which horrified them."

Brit celebs who quit UK for off-grid lives abroad…from soap actress who runs Thai ‘drug bar' to star who lives in a TENT
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THEY had it all - fame, fortune and adoring fans. But instead of basking in the spotlight, these British stars packed it all in and bid the UK adieu. 20 This week fans were in awe after Noel Edmonds made a stunning return to showbiz Credit: PA 20 The star is now set to showcase his new life in an ITV show Credit: PA 20 Noel is one of the most recognisable faces in British telly Credit: Getty This week fans were left in awe when Noel Edmonds made his big return to showbiz after years away. The last time many saw him was on I'm A Celebrity in 2018, where he was the first star to be booted out of the camp. Now he's back with a brand new ITV show set to focus on his life in New Zealand. The 76-year-old moved there with his wife Liz in 2015. Speaking to The Sun about his triumphant return, he said: "People still ask, 'Noel Edmonds? Didn't he die? Is he still around?' Yes, I'm still here - and living life to the full." On his quiet life away from his TV and radio days, he added: "We have a beautiful home, and in the morning, we wake up to a view of the mountains. "The scenery here is magical. Even after six years, we'll go for a drive and still say: 'Wow'." But he's not the only one to quit fame for a dramatic lifestyle change. From the silver screen to sun-drenched solitude, a string of celebs have turned their backs on showbiz to embrace quiet, off-grid lives elsewhere. Whether it's swapping red carpets for rural cabins or luxury mansions for life among the locals, these former household names are proving there's life after the limelight. Charlotte Renovates A Commercial Kitchen For Her Wellness Retreat Tent life From 2006 to 2019, Jason Gardiner was known as the acid-tongued judge on Dancing On Ice who was not afraid to speak his mind. He infamously left his judging role in the wake of his clash with former contestant Gemma Collins, who he once compared to a "refrigerator". At the time, he said: "I went through some very dark times after it all played out and I realised I wasn't valued in any way, shape or form by ITV." 20 Jason Gardiner was one of the judges on Dancing on Ice before quitting Credit: Rex 20 The former TV star said he lived in a tent in Portugal after quitting Dancing On Ice Credit: Instagram 20 He took a sustainability course and taught families how to be more eco-friendly Credit: thejasongardiner/Instagram Jason, 53, then quit the UK for a life in Portugal, where he studied a biodiversity and sustainability course and began calling himself a 'Nomadic Permaculture Designer'. Speaking to the Mirror, he explained how he travelled to different homes to teach families how to be more eco-conscious. He also opened up about how he was happy to leave the glitz and glamour of his former life behind and live in a tent. "I have gone on many adventures, met the most amazing people and acquired the most amazing qualification," he said. "I have found a new life that isn't about the toxic environment of the TV industry. "My tenure on Dancing on Ice was always marred with controversy and lots of issues, but the problem is, I didn't realise how toxic it was until I left. "It took me a while to decompress from it, I'll be honest."

From red carpets to TV and radio shows, the 45-year-old was one of the most in-demand women in the industry. However, in 2022, Kelly married longtime beau Jeremy Parisi and partially retreated from life in the limelight. After selling her £1.45million Kent home, she spoke about leaving the UK to enjoy their married life in Italy, her husband's home country. Discussing their "simplified lives" last year, Kelly, who still maintains her home in London, said: "He's got a little farmhouse in Italy that is in need of renovation. "It's an olive oil farm, so we will be getting involved and pressing olives and learning how to cook pizza. I'm learning Italian. "You get to meet the family, and there's some very colourful characters in there."

But the real shock came last year when fans learned about her surprising career change. She is now living in Thailand with her partner, Matt Dawson, where she runs her own cannabis bar - with no plans of coming back to the UK. Speaking about her new enterprise, she said: "I actually don't like the feeling [of being stoned]. "But to be honest, I have become a little partial to the edibles here, obviously, because I have to test the products. "But that is not to be stoned. I promote ours for rest and for aches and pains for people who don't want to smoke, so I will have mine before bed." I actually don't like the feeling [of being stoned] But to be honest, I have become a little partial to the edibles here, obviously, because I have to test the products Kelli Hollis On TikTok Kelli, 48, proudly shows off her business venture to her 270,000 followers. The bar flogs cannabis and marijuana products and boasts of also selling hash, joints and brownies. In 2023, she posted on TikTok, celebrating one year in Thailand with the caption: "Came for 4 months, now run a weed bar." Speaking about the move in an interview, Kelli said: "We'd been to Pattaya a few times on a holiday, we did a bit of island hopping and in June they legalised marijuana and we found this really cute little shop and got really good friends with the owner and decided to basically set up our own weed shop." She added: "I'll be honest, I've smoked weed since I was about 15, but I'm not a hard-core weed smoker. "I can't do full joints and edibles and all that, so it probably bodes well, or I'd probably smoke all the profits. "It's definitely not something I envisaged, but we've definitely made the right choice."

She relocated to the central American country with partner Adam Thomas and their daughters, aged three and five, back in January to start afresh after quitting the UK, having fallen in love with it during a trip in 2018. She'd previously admitted it was her dream to move there and buy some land or a farm and live "the simple life" with her kids. In her Instagram image caption she describes herself as: "Prepper, survivalist and creator now living the uninhibited jungle life."

The star, who grew up in West London, moved to the States after finding success in the American market. She was the first ever live-action Lara Croft in 1997, and also appeared in films such as Sweet Home Alabama and TV shows including Boston Legal. On Channel 5's Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild in 2023, she explained how she bought a 400-acre farm in Uruguay after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2012. After a two-year recovery period, where she stayed in a cabin, Rhona said she knew she couldn't go back to her Hollywood lifestyle. In the South American country, she built a home with horse manure, where she lives alone and carries out her passion of rescuing horses and other animals in poor condition. Explaining the loneliness it brings, she said: "It'd be easier if there were someone to share the burden with. "I think it's the thing that a lot of people say they want to be part of this life, but I'm not going to give this up. "There is no backtracking, I have to move forward and have somebody that wants to move forward with this life." But Rhona also spoke about some of the difficulties she has faced, including being threatened by her neighbours. "I basically had to babysit the farm and watch it almost 24/7" she said. "I was so exposed and vulnerable in my first years. "I had people cut fences and let their cows in, intimidating me by coming [on her land] and hunting, it felt like bullying." She added: "It's very unusual for a single girl to move to this part of Campo by herself and with no partner, no husband, that's really strange." Off-grid school 20 Charlotte has had an illustrious career after finding fame as a teen singing sensation Credit: Rex 20 Charlotte set up a school that focuses on nature in the annex of her home in Wales Credit: Really Channel/Koska Productions/Discovery Communications) From chart-topping teen to school founder, Charlotte Church, 39, is now teaching kids how to grow veg, care about nature, and be proud of who they are. The former Voice of an Angel star has swapped the stage for the schoolyard, setting up her own eco-friendly education centre in the annex of her house. Back in 2019, Charlotte vowed she'd "work night and day" to create a new kind of school in South Wales - and she's stuck to her word. The result is The Arwen Project, a rural retreat-style set-up where kids learn permaculture, organic gardening, land management and even how to connect with nature. She spent up to seven years researching education before launching the venture, saying the current school system was doing more harm than good. "The more I speak to young people and teachers, the more I think the system… is starting to become actively damaging," she wrote in a blog. "A lot of people leave school thinking they're not good enough, not smart, not capable – and that's heartbreaking." In her school, pupils learn outdoors whenever they can, make their own rules and focus on real-world issues that matter to them. During an LGBTQ+ week, the kids were treated to a talk from drag queen Le Gateau Chocolat, who taught them about allyship and the power of knowing when to "pass the mic." "Especially as white privileged people, we need to know when to step back," Charlotte told the New Statesman. 20 Charlotte at her wellness retreat Credit: Really Channel/Koska Productions/Discovery Communications)
