Richard Madeley was missing from his usual spot on the Good Morning Britain panel on Tuesday morning, with Sean Fletcher standing in his place. As the programme kicked off, ITV 's Kate Garraway addressed her co-host's absence, with Sean admitting he didn't realise he was fronting the ITV show. She said: "Good morning! Now if you were expecting to see Richard Madeley here, I think Richard Madeley was expecting to be here as well! "He's feeling a bit poorly this morning, so we've got lovely Sean, which is fantastic.
" Kate questioned when Sean found out he was going to be stepping in for Richard, with the iTV star confessing it was very last minute. He replied: “So we wish Richard all the best, I get up in the morning and I log into the running order at home. I see my initial by all the stories that you would already have.
Then I saw my initial on every other story. “I thought there’s a mistake, there’s a typo!” However, after looking at the running order again it was clear to Sean he was going to be fronting alongside Kate. Sean added: “Suddenly I realised, I had seven missed calls and I realised that something was up.
” Admitting it was good to be hosting the show, he joked it feels as though he’s off of the newsbench and on the pitch. Kate said: “As you say, we wish Richard all the best. Hopefully, he’ll be feeling better later today.
” The ITV star told viewers that before the show went on air, bosses questioned whether or not Sean had a tie. Laughing, he.
