Richard Madeley tried to outdo Def Leppard's Joe Elliott on guitar in hilarious scenes in 2018.
During Joe's performance, Richard picked up the guitar and strummed a few notes while asking “What next?” before handing the guitar over to the Lovebites hitmaker.
Joe then showed off his prestigious talents, with Richard looking dejected while his co-host Susanna Reid said: “That doesn't sit well with my tinnitus.”
The air turns blue…
Richard appeared to forget the golden rule of daytime television as he swore not once but twice while hosting Good Morning Britain in 2019
Richard appeared to forget the golden rule of daytime television as he swore not once but twice while hosting Good Morning Britain in 2019.
The 62-year-old veteran broadcaster left viewers in hysterics and had them comparing him to Alan Partidge when he made a series of mistakes while standing in for regular presenter Piers Morgan before quitting the show.
The air first turned blue for Richard at 7.30am when, during a discussion about air pollution, he told London Mayor Sadiq Khan that there was “no point in joking around”.
An hour later, the former This Morning presenter struck again when he said “s**t” during an interview with The Voice judge Olly Murs and winner Molly Hocking.
When Richard asked Molly about her win, he mused, “How does it feel when you think, 'Oh shit,' I won!”
Richard apologized at the end of the chat: “Apparently I may have said the word that starts with s and t at the time, I didn't think I would have done it but if I did then I apologize.”
'Why are you crying?'
Richard once scolded a guest for crying when he met the paramedics who saved his life. He told them, “Stop crying.” This should make you happy
Richard once scolded a guest for crying when he met the paramedics who saved his life. He told them, “Stop crying.” This should make you happy.'
Moving on to the next point, he said: “Anyway, after the break, the biggest dog in the UK.” And he really is big. Don't miss it!'
When a teacher remortgaged her house to save her dog's life, he asked viewers, “How much do you charge to care for your pet?” Is there a point where you just say, “Too expensive, the dog has to.” die?”
And when he interviewed some primal dwarves, he said, “Do you find that people patronize you?” That is, they talk down to you.'
While chatting to a few squatters he once said: 'So what's your favorite supermarket?' I like Waitrose myself.'
Celebrity Chats…
once said to Bill Clinton: “I know what it’s like to be wronged by the press. I was once accused of shoplifting. However, unlike you, I knew I was innocent.”
During an interview with actress Keira Knightly, he jokingly demanded of the show's producers, “Can we get some makeup please?” Make Keira look like a crack woman…she would make a good crack woman !'
He once told Steps' Faye Tozer and fellow singer Russell Watson: “I've always thought your music was a bit shit, but this is pretty good.”
Introducing former footballer Paul Gascoigne, who has struggled with well-documented alcohol problems, Richard said in a very uncomfortable moment: “He suffers for us.” He bears our pain in the most public way possible.
“He serves a timeless human need that goes back long before the time of Christ.” Perhaps this was always Paul Gascoigne’s destiny.”
He once said to entertainer and mentalist Derren Brown: “Can we have petroleum and a rope?” “We'll burn you at the end of the show.”
No filter…
Richard was previously known for co-hosting This Morning with his wife Judy and wasn't afraid to comment on moments from their personal life (pictured in 1988).
Richard was previously known for co-hosting This Morning with his wife Judy, whom he married in 1986 and with whom he has two children Jack and Chloe.
And the broadcaster doesn't shy away from commenting on moments from her private life.
He once told ITV viewers: “When me and Judy were trying to get pregnant, I used to dip my balls in ice cold water before sex.”
Another time he said, “Then Judy got pregnant again, it was an accident. 'I'm sorry, Chloe, but it was you. And you know it.'
And after Judy once revealed her former dreams of becoming a doctor, he quipped: “No, you would have ended up killing everyone.”
He also once asked an actor playing a bisexual person, “Would you rather have sex with me or Judy?”

Richard left viewers in awe when he made his debut on The Circle in 2019.
The TV presenter lived up to his comparisons to the “real Alan Partridge” as he entered his flat with a guitar in hand before raving about a typewriter and stumbling live on air.
Before entering the apartment, Richard said, “I'm an agent of mischief.” “I'm here to cause a stir.”
Richard admired his apartment, where he was given a keyboard, a miniature pool table and a typewriter so he could write his new novel.
As he walked around the sofa talking to himself, he tripped, causing presenter Emma Willis to stifle a laugh as the camera panned back to her in the studio.
