Rhodri Giggs interview on Good Morning Britain leaves viewers cringing

The brother of Ryan Giggs appeared on the Good Morning Britain sofa - and viewers were left cringing as he was grilled by Richard Madeley.

Rhodri Giggs appeared on the ITV show following his Paddy Power advert poking fun at the rift with Manchester United legend Ryan.

Ryan had an eight-year affair with Rhodri's wife Natasha, with the brothers not having spoken since the infidelity was exposed more than seven years ago.

Rhodri's family are reportedly not happy about the Paddy Power advert but Rhodri said it was his way of moving on, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Rhodri said: "To move on in a comedic way, what I did was funny - what he did was a car crash."

Richard said: "Well it's your betrayal to own and it's your betrayal to forgive and if that's one of the ways you do it, I can't see the harm."

To which Rhodri replied: "Well no one likes being taken fun of I suppose."

Rhodri also appeared on the show on Wednesday to say he'd forgiven his brother and that he would be willing to speak to him again.

But then Madeley's persistent questioning left fans cringing as he suggested Rhodri pick up the phone live on air - which did not go down well.

Rhodri said he no longer had his brother's phone number and suggested that he would have to be the one to make the first move.

He said there would be no animosity from his side and if they bumped into each other - it would be civil.

Viewers were left squirming after the interview.

And a fourth said: "Richard Madeley is a terrible interviewer. This interview with Rhodri Giggs is cringeworthy #GMB"

GMB continues tomorrow at 6am on ITV.
