Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid left in hysterics over Richard Madeley's Ofcom 'break'

Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid couldn't contain her laughter on Tuesday's programme. The mirth came as the hosts discussed Ed Sheeran's recent revelation that he would have turned down his vocals being used in the upcoming 40th-anniversary re-release of Band-Aid's iconic track.Susanna brought up Bob Geldof's forthright views, prompting Richard Madeley to say: "He's been very trenchant, we can't repeat them, but he's basically said, 'if this is patronising colonial my backside'.

Except he didn't say backside, it rhymes with farts."His ITV colleague was immediately tickled by Richard's words, quipping: "I'm not sure we avoided the Ofcom ruling on that one!" They then set the stage for a later debate on whether it's time to retire Band Aid altogether, noting Sheeran's acknowledgement that the song and its charity narrative need re-evaluation.

Susanna continued: "He's shared a message from his friend, the musician, Fuse ODG who says, 'Band Aid perpetuates damaging stereotypes'".Later, Fuse ODG was slated to join the conversation with Richard and Susanna to delve deeper into his perspective.

The original Band Aid single, Do They Know It's Christmas, launched in 1984 featuring stars like Phil Collins, Boy George, David Bowie, and George Michael, aimed at supporting famine relief efforts in Ethiopia.
