Richard Madeley reveals he's deaf in one ear after contracting new strain of Covid
Richard Madeley has revealed he’s been left with hearing issues after contracting Covid. The Good Morning Britain presenter contracted a strain of Covid which has left him with ongoing complications, after he suffered a perforated eardrum.
The star - who recently spoke out on a conversation he’d had with Phillip Schofield following his This Morning exit - said the complication makes it difficult to hear busy conversations.
Saying that the hearing problem “feels like I’ve got a cork in my right lughole”, he added that he can actually hear better during his time on the GMB set as he can turn up his earpiece.
He explained: “Funnily enough, doing GMB, which I was a bit worried about, gives me better hearing because I wear my studio earpiece in that ear and I can wind up the volume to the max: it’s a bit like having a hearing aid I suppose.” He added to The Sun: “Susanna [Reid] sits on my left and I can hear fine on that side.
