Trisha Goddard Thanks Supporters After Good Morning Britain Return

Trisha Goddard, the renowned television presenter, expressed her gratitude to supporters after her recent stint on Good Morning Britain (GMB). In an emotional Instagram post, she thanked her followers and the GMB team for their kindness during her ongoing battle with terminal cancer. “It has meant SO much to me,” she wrote, highlighting the importance of the support she received. In a heartfelt video, Goddard shared her experience on set, noting the assistance she received from colleagues, particularly Richard Madeley, who she described as understanding. She revealed that she chose to forgo pain medication to ensure she could communicate clearly during her appearance, demonstrating her commitment to her work despite her health challenges. Susanna Reid, Goddard's co-presenter, praised her for the touching post, expressing her happiness that Goddard felt supported by the GMB team. Reid, currently on annual leave, emphasized the welcoming nature of the GMB staff and their commitment to creating an inclusive work environment. Goddard also advocated for better workplace support for individuals with chronic health conditions and disabilities. She urged companies to recognize the valuable perspectives these individuals bring to productivity, countering the stigma that labels them as “work-shy.” With projections indicating that by 2040, six million people will be living with chronic conditions, Goddard's message highlights the need for understanding and inclusion in the workplace.
