Richard, who stands in for Piers on GMB during the holidays, was invited on GMB to discuss his recent stint on Channel 4 reality show The Circle.
But viewers were obsessed with Piers, 54, and his praise for "national treasure" Richard, with some begging the pair to "get a room".
Piers also revealed he's known Richard for 35 years and proposed at the end of their chat: "It's great to see you. Next time I see you, you'll be sitting here.
"Maybe Richard and I should host one of these together? Man only?"

And Richard said: "Let's shake on it" as Piers continued to goad Susanna: "Good Man Britain is coming. The viewers would love that.
"Me and Richard Madeley, the dream team, imagine if it worked and ratings spiked. And (the editor) says, 'Susanna I'm so sorry but the viewers just want men."
The fed-up host quipped: "I'll take a couple of million and a pay off."
Despite Richard's enthusiasm, he begged to be allowed to "go home" when he hosted GMB back in May.

The presenter was forced to report on Love Island and moaned "this will go on forever" as he took over from Piers and Susanna.
Producers made him wear Love Island merchandise and he told viewers at the time: "Oh go on then.
"Which way do you have to wear it? Back to front? I'm not putting the flip flops on. Can I go home now?"
