Richard Gaisford, a familiar face on ITV's morning news show 'Good Morning Britain', had an unexpected and eventful Sunday. The chief correspondent was suddenly rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery due to an infection. However, despite the unexpected turn of events, Richard remained in good spirits and even shared a photo from his hospital bed with fans the following day. In the picture, he looked a bit tired but still managed to smile, as he expressed his gratitude towards the NHS for their exceptional care.
With a touch of humor, Richard joked about his unplanned hospital visit, saying it was not how he had planned to spend his Sunday. He also took the opportunity to thank the incredible team at Portsmouth University Hospital for their excellent care and for performing the emergency surgery. He acknowledged that the NHS is facing immense pressure at the moment, but he was fortunate to receive top-notch treatment. Richard has been a part of the GMB team for 10 years, and his colleagues, including meteorologist Laura Tobin and Lorraine Kelly, sent him supportive messages, urging him to take care and wishing him a speedy recovery.
On Tuesday's episode of Good Morning Britain, hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley shared an update on Richard's condition, announcing that he had been hospitalized due to an infection that antibiotics couldn't treat. They also revealed that Richard had been forced to take cover while reporting from Ukraine, where he was covering the Russian invasion. He had to pop into the hospital to check on his infection, but ended up undergoing emergency surgery.
The hosts sent their well-wishes to Richard and hoped for his swift recovery. Richard has been a part of the GMB family since 2014, and before that, he spent a decade on GMTV. He is no stranger to making headlines, and his dedication to his job is evident, even in situations like these. Good Morning Britain airs on ITV and ITVX from Monday to Friday starting at 6am.
