Richard Madeley missed Good Morning Britain on MondayRex

GMB announced his return to the hotseat, writing on Twitter: “Tomorrow on #GMB, @MartinSLewis’s guide to coping during the #CostOfLivingCrisis. Join Martin and @susannareid100 from 6am on @ITV.”

And viewers have been impressed by his knowledge and interviewing.

Martin has been highlighting the impact the cost of living crisis is having on the most vulnerable, telling viewers today: “Mental health and money are linked.

“You’re three and a half times more likely if you have debts to have a mental health condition.

“You can understand why, there is something to manifest in depression.

“One of the difficulties with mental health is, as well as the cost of living, we have the letters coming in telling you that you are not paying your bills, they are aggressive.

“Big red letters ‘you must pay now or there will be consequences’ can be quite disruptive and research shows counter productive.

“If you start to threaten people who have mental health issues they disengage.”

There has been no word on the reason for Richard’s absence but viewers have been pleased by his replacement.

“At last a Decent Co Presenter . If you had more like him your audience would go up .” wrote one on Twitter.

Another posted: “ah, #GMB back on form. Susanna & Martin Lewis.”

A third wrote: “Insightful, knowledgeable, champion of the people trying to hold those in power to account. I hope he will hold the regular slot next to @susannareid100.”

“What a breath of fresh air,” said a fourth. “Caring, compassionate and knows what he is talking about. Martin should be a regular on GMB.”

Richard and  Susanna have fronted GMB Mondays to Wednesdays since just before Christmas.

The veteran broadcaster took over the job nine months after the departure of Piers Morgan, who is about to launch a new show on talkTV.

However, Richard has been taking days off more frequently in recent weeks, after admitting his future on the show is uncertain.
