Richard Madeley speaks out on death threats from 'sad losers' over GMB appearances

While he noted that some comments of a threatening nature should be taken seriously, most in his case were coming from bored viewers with “nothing better to do”.

He continued: “Obviously some death threats have to be taken seriously but from my experience, 99.9% of them are just coming from sad losers who’ve got nothing better to do.

“I’ve not reported any to the police because that would mean I’d take them seriously. They’re to be treated with indifference.”

He added to Metro: “If anyone reads this and thinks, ‘Right, well, I’ll have a go,’ by all means do, because I won’t be reading it and even if I did, I wouldn’t give a tuppenny damn.”
