Good Morning Britain viewers issued an urgent plea to Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley as they interviewed a woman impacted by The Post Office scandal.

Good Morning Britain fans had the same complaint about Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway.

During Tuesday’s instalment (November 5) of the ITV programme, Richard and Kate stepped in for Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, who headed to Washington DC to cover the US election.

The duo discussed some of the biggest stories hitting the headlines which included the inquiry into delays in sub-postmasters compensation. Today, the Business and Trade Select Committee begins examining prolonged settlement issues for those affected by the Horizon scandal.

Branded the UK’s most widespread miscarriage of justice, more than 900 sub-postmasters were prosecuted for stealing because of incorrect information from the Horizon computer system.

Many sub-postmasters went to prison for false accounting and theft, while others were financially ruined. Richard, 68, and Kate, 57, spoke to former Sub-postmaster Janet Skinner, who revealed she is still fighting for compensation.

During the interview, fans flocked to social media to share complaints about Richard and Kate constantly talking over each other.

“Stop talking over each other!” demanded one viewer as a second agreed: “Bloody hell Richard, stop talking over Kate.”

Another pointed out: “@GMB Richard and Kate talking over each other all the time,” as a fourth echoed: “Do these two ever top interrupting each other?”

Janet was sentenced to nine months in prison for an alleged £59,000 short fall at a post office in Hull and ended up serving three months behind bars in 2007, despite being innocent.

While in prison, she was put on suicide watch due to her declining mental state. Janet was forced to sell her home and moved into a private rental property.

While there, her correspondence from the post office was being sent to her old address, which she was unaware of. In June 2008, Janet discovered there was a warrant out for her arrest and she was almost sent back to prison for another five years.

Opening up about the long-lasting damage this has done to her life, Janet said: “I’d like to be able to buy a house and start living my life instead of having to fight continuously.”

Calling out the government, she continued: “The government are the shareholders of the post office. It is their responsibility. So having this inquiry on top of another inquiry is the issue that they’re creating.”

Janet added: “They’re trying to push people so far with documentation and requirements of medical reports, there’s some information you just can’t get your hands on.”

Janet received £163,000 in 2022 which was meant to be a stopgap and is awaiting further compensation 18 years after her life was ruined.
