Good Morning Britain fans have accused Richard Madeley of being 'insensitive' with his line of questioning while interviewing a Corrie star. <\/p>\n

Actor Peter Ash, 38, is currently playing MND sufferer Paul Foreman on the ITV soap. <\/p>\n

He appeared on GMB alongside Sam Hayden-Harler, who was diagnosed with the condition at age 35, to talk about how he was helping him with the hard-hitting storyline. <\/p>\n

But viewers were less than impressed when Richard said: "Peter, let's get down to the nitty-gritty, what does he show you to do in terms of movement?"<\/p>\n

Actor Peter struggled to answer the question as he appeared overcome by emotion. <\/p>\n

Kate Garraway then tried to make him feel better by saying: "It's emotional, isn't it? You must feel a big sense of responsibility."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But viewers accused Richard of having 'no tact' after he straight away continued with the same line of questioning, adding: "What I mean is, does he come to your dressing room and say 'at this stage you walk like this?"<\/p>\n

Co-host Kate, 56, appeared to find the exchange awkward as she rushed in and said: "No, no, not quite like that.'"<\/p>\n

Peter nervously laughed before saying, "He has been a very big help to the storyline."<\/p>\n

Viewers were quick to take to X, formerly known as Twitter, to call out Richard for the way he handled the conversation. <\/p>\n

One person wrote: "Madeley needs to be taken off air. He has zero tact."<\/p>\n

Another added: "How cringe-worthy is Madeley. How can he get things so wrong so many times?"<\/p>\n

While a third penned: "He'll ask how long he's got left next."<\/p>\n

"Richard Madeley has the sensitivity of a wrecking ball! Why do the powers that be at #GMB allow this idiot anywhere near such sensitive topics?" said a fourth. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While another viewer chimed in with: "Did Richard just say does he go to your dressing room and say you have to walk like this."<\/p>\n

"Richard Madeley doesn't have a presenting filter, sometimes he just blurts things out without thinking what he's about to say," concluded a GMB viewer.<\/p>\n

Brave Sam also opened up on the show about how he does not describe himself as 'suffering' from MND. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He said: "I live with it. It is part of me and it's so, so important that it's seen to raise awareness, that creates more fundraising and more research."<\/p>\n

Peter added that it was important that he was working with Sam to 'portray it as honestly and truthfully' as they can. <\/p>\n

He said: "He has been a very big help with the storyline. It was a massive shock to find out how close it was to his life.'"<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
