Richard Madeley has suggested he might leave Good Morning Britain if he wants to write another book, citing the difficulty of balancing his presenting duties with writing. Recently, he was absent from GMB, prompting Sean Fletcher to fill in at the last minute due to Madeley feeling unwell. Kate Garraway explained Madeley's sudden absence on air, and Fletcher shared the humorous and unexpected way he found out he would be co-hosting. Viewers expressed positive reactions to Fletcher's performance, with some calling for him to have a more permanent role. Despite the absence, Madeley remains a regular feature on the show and has not indicated any immediate plans to leave.
