GOOD Morning Britain viewers are worried Susanna Reid has fallen out with Richard Madeley as he continues to go “missing” from the show.
He was replaced by presenter Adil Ray yesterday as Susanna returned from a week off.
Adil returned today to host the show for the second time this week – sparking rumours of a “rift” behind the scenes between Richard and Susanna.
One said: “Beginning to look like Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid have fallen out.”
Another added: “This alleged feud between Madeley and Reid is really benefiting you work wise, eh Adil?”

Richard normally hosts from Monday to Wednesday, but is believed to be on holiday this week.
Susanna took last week off, which means the pair haven’t presented together in weeks.
Richard is set to take a lengthy break from Good Morning Britain this summer.
It’s not yet been confirmed if Adil will be the one to replace him.
The Marmite broadcaster, 66, regularly divides viewers with his forthright opinions and Alan Partridge-style gaffes.
He told Sunday Brunch hosts Simon Rimmer and Tim Lovejoy that he’ll be absent from the hotseat in the coming months.

Speaking about filling the void left by Piers Morgan after his exit from the show last year, he said: “Since Piers left, as you know, his chair has been a kind of rotating gig and all sorts of presenters have come in and done it.
“It is true that of late I’ve kind of risen to the top of that pile I suppose.
“But I don’t know for how long as I’m on quite a short contract.”
Richard continued: “I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’ve got quite a big break in the summer, I’m going to France and then I’ll be back quite a lot in the autumn.
“But as for next year I have no idea and that’s fine for me. I’m not chasing it, you know.

“If they turn around and say ‘We’re relaunching the programme and thanks Richard for all the fish but we’re going to use so and so,’ that would be fine with me.”
Richard admitted he takes on projects for fun these days as he’s reached state pension age, and isn’t looking to strategically move forward his career.
