Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley sparked concern among viewers on Monday when he appeared on the ITV programme sporting a cast on his arm. The 69 year old host candidly discussed the mishap that led to his injury, while also revealing during the same broadcast that his daughter had been the victim of car theft not once, but twice.

As Madeley presented alongside Susanna Reid, 54, with his cast visible beneath his suit sleeve, she prompted him for an explanation. With a touch of humour, he responded: "I thought you were going to say did I have a good break!" Following their shared laughter, he elaborated: "It's a double fracture of the wrist."

Detailing the incident, he said, "I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France on Friday, and the pavement was loose," and recounted how he fell after a loose paving stone tripped him up. He added, "It flipped up and it flipped me forward and I thought am I going to win or will gravity win? And gravity won and I hit the ground hard. So yeah I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes."

When Susanna expressed concern about whether he was in pain, Richard stoically remarked: "I'm not discussing the pain threshold, we just don't think about pain."

The conversation took a serious turn as Madeley also spoke about his daughter Chloe Madeley's experience with car theft, which happened twice from their driveway. This topic arose while he was conversing with commentators Kevin Maguire and Andrew Pierce about current affairs, including police response to vehicle thefts, reports The Express.

Richard shared his family's troubling encounters with car theft, revealing: "My daughter has had two cars stolen from our driveway in the space of three months."

He continued to express his frustration with the police response, stating: "It was the original car and the replacement. But within an hour of reporting it to the police, she had a callback. They had said that they were not going to investigate; they just gave her a crime number for the insurance."

Susanna queried whether his daughter had now placed an airtag in the car, prompting Madeley to quip: "Oh yeah, but I won't say where she has put it!".

However, he quickly returned to a more serious tone, adding: "I find that being from a generation where car theft was always seen as an important crime, and one that had to be investigated, it's extraordinary that within 40 minutes you can get a call saying 'we're not doing anything'."
