No 'arm done! Recovering Richard Madeley steps out without his plaster cast after shattering his elbow in painful fall
He was pictured looking decidedly worse for wear after shattering his elbow during a painful fall last month.
But Richard Madeley looked to be on the mend as he stepped out in London on Monday.
The 60-year-old TV presenter was without the plaster cast and sling which he had been wearing less than two weeks ago.

On the mend: Richard Madeley clutched his newspaper and thermos flask as he ran some errands on Monday morning, looking to have made a recovery from his broken arm
The former This Morning presenter managed to hold a newspaper under his damaged arm, clutching a thermos flask with the other.
Richard, who was without wife Judy Finnigan, sported a black padded jacket, jeans and trainers and a pair of aviator sunglasses as he headed to the shops.
The star had shared his personal agony with fans via Twitter, posting a shot of himself with his broken arm on January 18.
'My personal 'snap' of the day. Titanium plates await!' he captioned the shot, later revealing he had 'shattered' his left elbow.

'Lucky it was the left one and weirdly it's still pretty functional,' he added. 'But as Lennon said: "Life's what happens when you're making other plans."'
The star then underwent surgery under general anesthetic to fix his arm, leaving him in a great deal of pain.
'2-hr op to put screws+plates in me arm,' he tweeted. 'Local anaesth didn't take so needed a general.Huge thanks to theatre team and ward nurses.Onwards!'

Richard later cut a rather bizarre figure during a stroll through London sporting a tissue up up one nostril as he brandished his bandaged arm.
