Fans have been speculating about tension between GMB hosts Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley. The presenters frequently talk over each other, with many viewers now claiming Kate appeared visibly annoyed this week. Eagle-eyed viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.
One user penned: "Well done Richard on remaining calm when Kate talked over him a couple of times there." Whilst another added: "Kate really does get irritated by Richard. So obvious." A third wrote: "How many times can Kate cut Richard off in mid sentence? He starts to speak, she interrupts him." But a fourth person disagreed that there’s a feud, saying: "Richard has a calming influence on Kate, it’s lovely.".
This isn't the first time fans accused the GMB stars of having a feud. Earlier this year, fans accused Richard of "interrupting" an emotional Kate as she spoke about her late husband Derek Draper in a candid live interview. Kate appeared on TV tearfully in February, returning to the ITV breakfast show to talk about the loss of her husband. Derek, a former political lobbyist, had been struggling with long-term complications after contracting COVID-19 in 2020. While he had been slowly recovering, he tragically suffered a heart attack late last year and passed away in January.
Determined to be open about her grief, Kate shared her story with Susanna Reid, 53, and Richard, 67, from her home in London. She spoke about her brave 17-year-old daughter, Darcey, who not only helped carry her dad’s coffin but also gave a eulogy. Richard then joined the conversation.
