Richard Madeley presents Good Morning Britain programme with wrist in cast
Richard Madeley has been presenting Good Morning Britain with his wrist in a cast after a "double fracture".
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 themorning show.
He replied: "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."
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, the NHS's recent calls for a million new blood donors to come forward, and protests in Los Angeles.
As he interviewed comedian turned artist Jim Moir, best known by his stage name Vic Reeves, who showed him how he can make his bed in eight seconds, Madeley praised him with "one hand clapping".
Madeley has co-presented the show since 2017, after previously launching This Morning in 1988 with wife Judy Finnigan, with whom he went on to present chat show Richard And Judy from 2001 to 2009.
The presenter also worked on The Wright Stuff as a guest host between 2012 and 2017.

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.
