At the end of Wednesday’s Good Morning Britain, Susanna Reid revealed Martin Lewis would be taking 68-year-old Richard’s seat next to her today.

But Richard insists he’s not going anywhere and has no plans to give up his day job any time soon.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: “I am very happy to say on GMB as long as they want me.
“At some point I’m going to be too bloody old – I’m 68! “t some stage either I will think or ITV will think maybe the times come.
“But hopefully that will be for a few years yet, because I don’t feel 68.”
He and Susanna, 53, have face continious feud rumours since he joined the show on a permanent basis in 2021.
But Richard has insisted the duo get along just fine and he is “lucky” to have been paired with her.
He continued: “I think I’m really lucky to have been paired with Susanna, I think journalistically we’re very similar.
“We have a meeting every morning at 5 o’clock in her dressing room. Her, me and the producer of the day and we go through the running and that’s where we kind of put the final shape to the programme. It’s just a treat working with her.”
Richard added: “I wouldn’t get up at four in the f****** morning two weeks out of four, Monday to Thursday, if I didn’t enjoy it.
“I don’t need to do it. My career arch as it were, is behind me. I’ve had a really happy career and I could if I wanted to just potter about.”
Meanwhile, another presenter change up is on the cards for GMB this week.
Adil Ray, 50, revealed he will be returning to the presenter hot seat on Friday alongside show anchor Kate Garraway.
He uploaded a snap showing him on the early morning show sofa with Kate, 57, as well as newsreader Charlotte Hawkins, 49, entertainment reporter Richard Arnold, 54, and weather presenter Laura Tobin, 42.
