The ITV presenter branded himself 'grizzled and old' as he shared his experience of secondhand smoke in public with co-star Kate Garraway
Good Morning Britain co-host Richard Madeley made a frank admission about his smoking past on the ITV show, revealing he used to light up "60 a day".
Madeley continued by recounting a recent personal experience: "Only three or four days ago in this lovely weather, I was having a coffee on the pavement cafe in North London that I like to go to, in the sunshine. The guy next to me lit up, as he was completely entitled to do, and the breeze was blowing it towards me, so I was breathing in his smoke."
Richard openly confessed to The Guardian about his heavy smoking past, admitting: "For decades I failed to quit."
