One disgruntled viewer even whinged about poor Richard’s “orange glow” – something he pointed out himself on GMB this week!

They wrote to Piers: “I hope you have a lovely time away but you need to come back to GMB, Richard just does not cut it at all, in fact I switch off most days because I find him so irritating and he appears fake, especially that orange glow he seems to have 😂.”

Original This Morning host Richard came under fire for his ‘Trump tan’ on GMB yesterday (10.04.19).

Taking the jibes on the chin, the 62-year-old joked: “It’s looking a bit orange today. It can only be make-up I think?

“There is a tan underneath it. Sorry everybody if it’s a bit pumpkin-like! I’ll take it down. I’ll wash it off.”

Long-time TV host Richard has regularly stood in for Piers in the past. However, he’s caused shockwaves with his swearing live on air and his occasional rambling statements.
