GMB host Richard Madeley branded ‘brave’ as he hosts awkward shoplifting segment

Richard Madeley was branded "brave" by viewers, who mocked him this morning for hosting an awkward shoplifting segment on GMB.

Richard, Kate, and their guests then went on to discuss how shop owners aren’t even allowed to share images of the shoplifters due to data protection laws. It was then discussed how a “lack of respect” for authority, and belief that the police wouldn’t be too bothered by shoplifting has given the “green light” for people to commit more crimes in shops. “May I remind you all, Richard Madeley was acquitted of any charges of theft, Don’t let your hatred blind you,” one viewer tweeted.
