GMB viewers brand Richard Madeley's Rhodri Giggs interview a 'car crash'

Good Morning Britain viewers were less than impress with Richard Madeley 's interview of Rhodri Giggs.

Footballer Ryan Giggs' estranged brother appeared on the ITV show this morning to say he'd forgiven his famous sibling for having an eight-year affair with his wife Natasha.

Rhodri revealed that he hasn't spoken to his brother for seven years and that his family are angry with him for starring in a Paddy Power advert that made light of the situation.

But viewers clearly weren't very impressed with how presenter Richard handled the chat.

While some compared the interview to "car crash" TV others drew similarities between Richard and comic character Alan Partridge.

One said on Twitter : "This Rhodri Giggs interview is utter car crash and garbage. Truly terrible."

Another posted: "Madeley going total partridge there with asking if he would call Ryan Giggs on-air."

While one said: "He’s definitely over what happened.. This interview is a car crash"

And another posted: "OMG these questions from Richard"

Not everyone was turned off by Richard though.

One said: "I love Richard's awkward interviews."

Another commented: "#richardmadeley is wasted on #gmb. After just seeing him attempting a #rhodrigiggs reconciliation he should be negotiating #brexit."

And one posted: "He’s absolute TV gold! I’ll be tuning in every morning to # GMB whilst Richard Madeley is on"

Viewers couldn't believe it when Richard asked Rhodri if he had his brother's phone number and if he'd consider calling him live on air.

"I wouldn't want to," Rhodri told him.

Richard pressed Rhodri by asking if he'd answer the phone if Ryan called him, and what he would say to him.

Rhodri tells the presenter he's not sure before being asked: "What would you want to say him to say to you?"

Rhodri then tells Richard: "Nothing, just move on."
