GMB fans slam Richard Madeley after interview with Coronation Street star: ‘zero tact’

ok.co.uk:

Good Morning Britain fans have accused Richard Madeley of being 'insensitive' with his line of questioning while interviewing a Corrie star.

Actor Peter Ash, 38, is currently playing MND sufferer Paul Foreman on the ITV soap. He appeared on GMB alongside Sam Hayden-Harler, who was diagnosed with the condition at age 35, to talk about how he was helping him with the hard-hitting storyline.

But viewers were less than impressed when Richard said: "Peter, let's get down to the nitty-gritty, what does he show you to do in terms of movement?" Actor Peter struggled to answer the question as he appeared overcome by emotion.

Kate Garraway then tried to make him feel better by saying: "It's emotional, isn't it? You must feel a big sense of responsibility." But viewers accused Richard of having 'no tact' after he straight away continued with the same line of questioning, adding: "What I mean is, does he come to your dressing room and say 'at this stage you walk like this?" Co-host Kate, 56, appeared to find the exchange awkward as she rushed in and said: "No, no, not quite like that.'" Peter nervously laughed before saying, "He has been a very big help to the storyline." Viewers were quick to take to X, formerly known as Twitter, to call out Richard for the way he handled the conversation.
