How long is it since Richard Madeley stood in? He is the only stand-in really who has ever managed to deliver Piers-style viral moments and headlines (I’m thinking of the Gavin Williamson interview).
Purely speculating, but one wonders if Piers got rattled by a genuine competitor and told the bosses not to use him so much?
Don’t forget Judy is quite a bit older than Richard and I think she’s possibly had health issues in the past so he might not want to risk it. Of course they have been on TV together since lockdown, with a socially distanced crew in their house.
Apparently Piers & Richard were meant to be presenting GMB on International Men’s Day last year. But I think Richard ended up going to Australia for his son in laws appearance on I’m A Celeb when that was due to happen.
To be honest there hasn’t been many opportunities for him to cover this year until now. I wouldn’t read too much into him not appearing recently given everything that’s been happening.

During a time when Richard was being interviewed he and Piers spoke about if they ever presented together.
There is no reason why it shouldn’t happen sometime.
With the new promo showing a similar 1983 field with the logo; do we think we may see a new look or some changes in September?
