GMB stars Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley clash in row over the BBC and Tim Davie

Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley had a bitter on-air spat about BBC director general Tim Davie after he was forced to resign. Mr Davie, as well as BBC News CEO Deborah Turness, sensationally stepped down on Sunday amid an impartiality row which has rocked the national broadcaster after an internal report accused it of bias and censorship. The chief admitted 'mistakes' had been made after a bombshell report by Michael Prescott, a former adviser to the corporation's editorial watchdog, accused the BBC of doctoring a speech by US President Donald Trump and censoring the debate on transgender issues, and said its Gaza coverage had been biased. And former employee Ms Reid, who was a star of BBC Breakfast before she made the shock switch to ITV in 2014 to launch Good Morning Britain (GMB), rushed to Mr Davie's defence during Monday's edition of her breakfast show.
