Piers Morgan tells US GMB reporter he’s ‘going to bed’ as he stumbles over his words and admits he’s ‘lost the thread’
Richard is famous for being chosen to travel with Prince William and Kate Middleton to Canada on their first royal tour in 2011.
In 2022, Richard was forced to leave Kiev after a disturbing live report showed bomb sirens going off around him
Viewers were very worried about him as he was forced to take cover in the middle of the broadcast.
A year earlier, he admitted that his “brain froze” during a report after stumbling over his words.
The reporter said he “lost the thread” after working all night to cover President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
He began reporting on the changes the new president would make before pausing to say, “And it’s also going to prevent people from, um… I’m sorry, I’ve completely lost the thread.
“I’m sorry.”
He had the sympathy of his UK studio colleagues when Piers Morgan told him to “go back to bed” and Susanna Reid said: “This is an important occasion; President Trump is gone, Joe Biden is here – and Richard Gaisford needs to go lie down!”
Richard later tweeted: “Thanks for all the kind messages – it’s only when you screw up that you realize how kind people can be. Total brain freeze
“@GMB. I’ll melt it by tomorrow. I promise. X”
