Richard Madeley has shared a grisly injury he sustained, after appearing live on Good Morning Britain wearing a cast.
The 69-year-old was hosting the Monday morning edition of the programme alongside Susanna Reid, 54, when she asked him about the cast wrapped around his right wrist.
Richard explained he had a double fracture after taking a tumble while in France last week.
Susanna told Richard he 'better explain' at the start of the early morning programme, adding that the injury 'looked sore'.
Richard replied: 'It's a double fracture of the wrist.
'I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France on Friday, and the pavement was loose and it flipped up and it flipped me forward.
'I thought, am I going to win or is gravity going to win? And gravity won.
'I hit the ground hard, so yeah, I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes.'
Susanna then went on to ask her co-host how much the pain of the break was bothering him, to which he replied: 'I'm not discussing the pain threshold, we just don't think about pain.'
Richard went on to bravely front the programme alongside Susanna, as they discussed Greta Thunberg's aid boat being stopped by Israeli forces and anti-immigration raid protests in Los Angeles.
He also went on to interview Jim Moir, also known by his stage name Vic Reeves, who demonstrated his skill at making his bed in eight seconds. Richard congratulated him with 'one hand clapping' due to the wrist injury.
Good Morning Britain viewers took to X to comment on Madeley's injury, with @wrinklytimelord writing: 'Awww Madeley has an owie.'
@topham_cheryl wrote: 'Is Richard channeling his inner Keith lemon this morning with his bandage?'
@AlanCortes echoed: 'Is R.Madeley doing a Keith lemon wrist bandaged.' More Trending
This comes amid huge upheaval at ITV, with Good Morning Britain now set to run from 6am to 9:30am amid cuts to the broadcaster's daytime TV slate.
GMB will now reportedly be produced by ITV News at ITN and include more 'regional news, agenda-setting investigations, exclusives, and analysis of the biggest stories of the day.'
Additionally, with Lorraine set to become a seasonal programme, GMB will fill the slot entirely and run from 6am to 10am.

Love Island ‘bully' row as Toni and Shakira turn on Emily in massive argument
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have accused some of the stars of bullying after an explosive row in the Casa Amor villa. American Islander Toni and Emily clashed in fiery scenes with the former accusing her costar of being nosey on the ITV reality dating series. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island's Emily was not happy with Toni who was talking behind her back Credit: Eroteme 4 Toni said she found Emily annoying Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 So, Emily confronted Toni and it ended in a row Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Toni - who arrived as the first bombshell of the series - gets annoyed after hearing a conversation between Emily and Conor. The row then started after Emily accused Toni of talking behind her back and was warned by Meg that Toni had said she was being "nosey" and described her as "Little Miss Sunshine." Toni was also seen talking about Emily to Shakira, who agreed with Toni's views. Following their row, an exasperated Emily said she thought Toni was "just trying to cause a problem," and "she's f****g nuts." But viewers watching at home accused the Islanders of bullying due to the many instances of gossiping about Emily without her knowledge. "Toni wanted to be the IT girl so bad and is now just trying anything to stay relevant causing problems when Emily hasn't done anything wrong, when actually she just looks like a bully," wrote one Love Island fan on X, formerly Twitter. Another added: "You all love Toni but last year you all hated Jess saying she was a bully?!?!?!" A third wrote: "Toni is like a school ground bully, poor Emily her and Shakira are 2 b*****s." And a fourth posted: "How can you call Toni a bully for that when Emily happily begs it w the bully trio." Toni hasn't had the easiest ride in the villa, and on Wednesday night she was almost dumped from the villa. Love Island fans call out Ben over bizarre claim as he's DUMPED by Shakira New islander Harrison was faced with choosing between Toni and Malisha, after they both found themselves single in the latest recoupling. They both then went on a date with Harrison, before he chose Toni, meaning Malisha went home. It was a shaky night all round for Shakira on Friday's episode as she chatted to Harry who admitted being unsure about his relationship with Helena. Their chat might lead to a rekindling of their relationship with a preview of Sunday's episode showing the pair snogging enthusiastically. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
