As the Eye of The Tiger played, he asked: “Is this on TV this bit?”
Charlotte was clearly very amused and jokingly asked him if he knew how live TV worked.
She replied: “Yes we are live on television to the nation, do you know how this works? We sit here and go live.”
Blushing, Richard said: “It’s just so fun this show, we are just making elements up as we go along. You think this can’t actually be on telly!”

He shared a news report based on The Sun's exclusive story that ITV bosses have pulled flagship show between Christmas and New Year amid Covid fears.
Richard wrote: "So I guess that means I won't be presenting Good Morning Britain next week (as planned).
"Shame but makes complete and total sense.
"Hosting this week. -unless I get Covid between now and Wednesday - although at this rate we'll all have it by then."
