GMB viewers outraged at EastEnders star’s skimpy TV outfit saying ‘too much on show!’
GOOD Morning Britain viewers were up in arms after one ITV show guest arrived on the programme in a vest.
Those tuning in to Monday’s episode of the daytime TV series told the actor in question to “dress a bit better” after bluntly quizzing: “What is he wearing?”

While GMB anchor Richard Madeley was seen in a black suit jacket, white shirt and tie, former EastEnders actor John Partridge, 55, opted for a more casual dress code.
He donned a grey vest and dark trousers as he discussed his role of Doctor Hannibal Lecter in the upcoming The Silence of the Lambs stage show.
John, 55, who played Walford’s Christian Clarke from 2008 to 2016, was called out just minutes into his segment discussing his UK and Ireland theatre tour.
One fan took to X to write: “WHAT is he wearing??? Far too much hair on show!”

Another posted: “You’re on tv mate, dress a bit better than wearing a vest”.
A GMB fan then quizzed: “Do we really need to see his hairy armpits and chest at 9:37 in the morning?” as one asked: “Where’s his shirt…who goes on telly in a vest?”
A follower then quipped: “Has he got gym after?”
Talking of his new role, he said: “Once you take the cannibalism out of the equation, Hannibal Lecter and myself aren’t too different.
“He’s a cultured man, he’s travelled, he likes art and the music and the ballet – and he’s got a perfect size 10 just like me.
“So I feel I am not too dissimilar from him”.
He told how it was based on the original Thomas Harris novel, with a few “slight differences”.
He will also star alongside former Corrie star Mollie Gallagher, who quit the soap in June.
Meanwhile, John might not have dressed up – but he did bring Hannibal’s mask.
He passed it to Richard to try, leading his co-host Kate Garraway to squeal in terror.
She told him: “That’s so disturbing!”
