Richard Madeley's comments on Kate Middleton's 'tiny' waist infuriate GMB viewers

Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley, who has been confirmed to be hosting the programme for the next month, has angered viewers after he made comments about Kate Middleton's appearance.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended The Earthshot Prize last night, which is an initiative by Prince William to help the environment, and Kate wore a long purple Alexander McQueen dress, that was created for her in 2011.

Despite The Earthshot Prize being a huge personal project for Prince William and Kate both Richard and co-presenter Susanna Reid did not speak about their hard work, instead commenting on Kate's appearance.

Richard said: "She’s so slim isn’t she, Kate?" and Susanna responded: "She is, isn't she?"

He then added: "Tiny, tiny waist."

Viewers took to Twitter to show their disgust at Richard's comments.

One viewer said: "@GMB I cannot believe you employ Richard Madeley whose only comment about Earthshot was about the size of The Duchess of Cambridge's waist. What an embarrassment."

Another said: "Richard is it really necessary to make personal comments about Kate like that?"

A third added: "Whole VT about climate change…what earthshot can do for the planet…switch back to @richardm56 and all he says is about how slim Kate Middleton is. Geez do better. #gmb"

And: "Oh Richard, just sat watching gmb and I was horrified when I heard your comment about the size of Kate’s waist!"

Good Morning Britain is on every weekday from 6am on ITV.
