“If I was on it, that’s all I’m saying, no other comment.”

It comes after Richard Madeley admitted he’d be up for replacing Piers on the programme.

The former This Morning presenter has filled in for Piers on the show multiple times.

Speaking to Metro, Richard said: “If the phone went and they said, ‘Would you come in and talk?’ of course I would talk to them.

“But I very much like sitting in for people. I have all the fun and very little of the responsibility or flak.”
