Richard Madeley has revealed that he was hit a lot by his dad during his childhood.On Wednesday's Good Morning Britain (February 23), the TV host debated the new law coming into Wales which aims to prevent parents from smacking their children.During the chat, Richard said: "When I was a little boy I was hit quite a lot by my dad, who I love very much and he was a great father, but I was hit quite a lot."It was typical of the day, we are talking about the 1960s. I was hit with a stick and reflecting on it now if it was outlawed then it wouldn't have broken the law."He then asked TV guest Rebecca Wilcox: "Is that one of the reasons with that knock-on effect, it would make parents them stop and think if this ban was introduced?"Rebecca is a journalist and daughter of Childline founder Miriam Wilcox.She then replied: "It's been proven if you make it illegal, it's a form of education, it's not about criminalising parents, but smacking has a negative impact on mental health all the way through childhood and adolescence."We need to evolve out of violence, you should not be smacking, discipline means teaching.
