RICHARD Madeley returned to Good Morning Britain today after a month long break and managed to wind up co-host Susanna Reid.
GMB favourite Susanna, 52, accused Richard of talking over her and snapped: "Can you let me finish?"

And a third moaned: "Can YOU please tell RICHARD to shut the F up and let people talk! Jesus he loves the sound of his own GOB LET PEOPLE TALK."

One said: "Where's Richard madeley has he been given the boot by gmb not seen him for ages."
Earlier in the show Richard revealed he had been struck down over Christmas with the dreaded superbug that has swept the UK.
He told viewers when the programme kicked off at 6am: "I had that [superbug] all Christmas for a month.
