At the start of Monday’s (August 11) edition of the hit ITV<\/a> programme, Richard and his co-host Kate Garraway<\/a> updated viewers with the day’s topical news stories.<\/p>\n They discussed whether drivers over 70 could be banned from roads if they fail compulsory eye tests, and the prospect of having knife scanners in every UK school.<\/p>\n Richard and Kate also opened up about the rise in shoplifting across the country.<\/p>\n They were joined in the studio by Laura Tobin, who provided regular weather updates, while Marverine Cole presented the rest of the day’s news.<\/p>\n While watching the show, many ITV viewers noticed that it was Richard’s first day back after his three-week summer break<\/a>.<\/p>\n One person wrote on X (formerly Twitter<\/a>), “Madeley’s back,” with another adding, “Madeley back on presenting.”<\/p>\n A third said, “Oh Joy. Madeley,” and a fourth viewer similarly shared, “Richard Madeley back on @gmb<\/a>.”<\/p>\n A fifth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: “Happy Days, our own Walter Mitty Richard Madeley.”<\/p>\n Last month, Richard revealed that he’d be going on holiday, just days after lead host Susanna Reid<\/a> announced her summer break from the show.<\/p>\n GMB has since seen various hosts step in to replace them, including Charlotte Hawkins, Ranvir Singh, and Adil Ray.<\/p>\n![\"Good](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_Screenshot-3749.png\")
