Viewers called for the presenter to be taken off air over his 'ignorant and stupid' comment to MP Layla Moran
Good Morning Britain said Richard Madeley has apologised for comments he made on this morning's show that viewers slammed as 'disgusting' and 'insensitive', with some calling for the presenter to be taken off air.
Ms Moran, a British-Palestinian MP, disclosed details of her family's situation after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak gave a statement to the House of Commons on the Israel-Hamas conflict on Monday afternoon confirming that six Brits had been killed and at least 10 are still missing. She explained that her relatives are “too old” to flee Gaza and have "nowhere to go".
"We have to continue to keep drawing a clear distinction between what Hamas is doing - the atrocities, the terrorism that they are responsible for - and what ordinary Palestinian families like me and my family... what we want is peace, a lasting peace and the ability to thrive equally." Ms Moran was praised by viewers for her 'restraint' in dealing with the question, which was described as 'irresponsible' and 'stupid' by those watching. Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, @LizJarvisUK said: "Layla Moran handled this situation with remarkable composure and dignity but Richard Madeley should apologise or be taken off air @GMB. Appalling question.
