Good Morning Britain’s Richard Madeley suddenly stops ‘awkward’ interview after defence secretary Gavin Williamson won’t answer his question
GOOD Morning Britain viewers were left shocked when Richard Madeley angrily stopped an "awkward" interview with a politician.
Fans couldn't help but laugh when the TV star, 62, hilariously called out "interview terminated" after Gavin Williamson, the Defence Secretary, refused to answer his question live on air.
After discussing elephant conservation with the MP via video link from West Midlands Safari Park, Richard changed the subject completely to Russia.
The host, who was standing in for Piers Morgan, asked: "You told Russia to shut up and go away. Do you regret that? Do you think that was a bit too informal?"
Gavin replies: "What I'd like to pay tribute to initially is the health service personnel..."
Richard speaks over him: "Sorry can you answer the question?! No, no, no Mr Williamson. I asked you a straight question."
A third shared: "Well that was Awkward."
It comes a day after Richard joked about his “smelly little girl” Chloe getting an invite to the Royal Wedding during yesterday's episode of Good Morning Britain.
He made the comments when asked about how she managed to get an invite and admitted she was using Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s big day as inspiration for her upcoming nuptials.
Chloe, 30, raised eyebrows when she arrived at St George’s chapel in Windsor with her rugby player fiancé James Haskell.
Richard appeared keen to clarify the invite and said she was invited as James’ plus one.
The 62-year-old explained: “My smelly little girl Chloe was there with her fiancé James.
“Basically the reason Chloe went along is because she’s James’ fiancée.
“And James is good friends with Harry because of the rugby thing. Harry is a huge rugby fan! James has known Harry for about ten years.”
