Good Morning Britain viewers all have the same complaint about Richard Madeley during Olivia Newton-John tribute
GOOD Morning Britain viewers were left unimpressed with Richard Madeley during a tribute for Olivia Newton-John today.
The Grease star died “peacefully” at her ranch in Southern California on Monday morning at the age of 73, with her husband confirming her death on social media.
And today, Richard and Charlotte Hawkins joined those paying their respects to the actress – but those watching at home felt Richard once again made it about himself.
While joined by Jane Seymour, Richard lamented: “I wish I’d met her, I wish I’d interviewed her – it never happened.
“I always regretted it actually as the years went by.”
He continued: “But that publicity picture, I don’t know if you can see it on your end, let’s see that again, the one with the denim shirt…

“There’s a picture we’re showing of her here, it was a very famous poster of her in the 1970s.
“She’s just looking at the camera, she’s backlit by sunshine, her hair’s down, she’s wearing a denim shirt…
“And I was saying earlier in the programme that that poster was on the wall of a radio station I used to work in back in the 1970s and, I’m not exaggerating, it basically stopped traffic in the corridors.
“It was up there for months and even after months, the guys would just stop and look at it.
“And (they) just get lost in her beauty and I would have loved to have told her that.”

Taking to Twitter to discuss Richard’s monologue, one person wrote: “Richard Madeley asking some daft questions about ONJ ,no wonder she never gave him an interview #GMB.”
A second added: “Does make me laugh everytime someone as a story Richard Madeley always faces a similar situation and make it about himself. @gmb.”
And a third raged: “#GMB This Richard madeley has lost the plot needs to be removed from presenting this show he is an embarrassment to the viewer and many people will agree with me.”
