Drama on GMB as Richard Madeley Storms Out While Susanna Reid Makes Emotional Plea

Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley left co-host Susanna Reid momentarily concerned after making a hasty exit from the ITV studio to investigate snowfall during Tuesday’s broadcast (November 19). The morning show featured discussions on top headlines, including an amber weather alert issued across parts of the UK. A severe snow alert was in place for major motorways as temperatures plunged overnight, told Daily Express.

After delivering updates on the weather warnings, Susanna announced that Richard had stepped outside to check if it was snowing. “We can’t get a live update to him just at this moment,” she said. While a video feed from outside the studio played, weather presenter Des Coleman joined the discussion to clarify whether the precipitation was sleet or snow. “Well, snow has a tendency to settle,” Des explained. “I haven’t seen any settling snow out there. I’m not saying that there’s not, but we’ll have to wait and see.”

Moments later, a damp-suited Richard returned to the studio and confirmed, “It is absolutely tipping down with snow.” He added, “Suddenly, it’s happened. We’ve taped it. We’ll show you the pictures in a minute. It’s really heavy.” Clearly amused but concerned, Susanna remarked, “Can I recommend next time you go out with a coat?”

Richard quipped back, “This is live television, Susanna. Every minute counts. There was no time to put a coat on. I suffer for the news.” The segment underscored the seriousness of the current weather situation. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued warnings that the plummeting temperatures could affect everyone, not just vulnerable populations.

The amber alert covers regions including the East Midlands, West Midlands, North East, North West, and Yorkshire and the Humber. Officials are urging caution on major roads as snow and icy conditions persist. Richard’s impromptu venture into the snow added a lighthearted moment to the broadcast, but it also highlighted the rapidly changing weather, reminding viewers of the need to prepare for worsening conditions.
