The Richard and Judy’s Goodreads host sported a pair of gold-rimmed shades and carried a bag over his shoulder, while holding a face mask in his hand. 

Richard has been sporting a luscious head of golden locks of late, and recently claimed that his hair colour is all natural.

He confirmed once and for all that his blond locks were ‘completely natural’ following speculation that he had bleached them for his TV return.

When speaking to The Mirror, Richard said: ‘It is completely natural, nothing to do with a bottle. You don’t have to believe me, but it’s true. If I was dyeing my hair I’m sure it would go green, I wouldn’t know how to do it.’

Richard also revealed that reading is what’s kept him and his wife Judy Finnigan, 71, from getting ‘snappy’ during the coronavirus lockdown.

The couple recently made a surprise return to TV screens to host their new book show, Keep Reading and Carry on. 

The couple have established themselves as credible critics with book fans thanks to their longstanding book club.

When asked by the publication why reading plays an important role in the marriage, Richard said the timeout it provides stops them getting ‘snappy’ with one another.

He shared: ‘In all marriages, things can occasionally get tense, and you can get a bit snappy with each other, especially if you’re together 24/7.’  

However, the broadcaster shared that they work so well together because they’re so comfortable with each other. 

Iconic duo: Richard also revealed that reading is what’s kept him and his wife Judy Finnigan, 71, from getting ‘snappy’ during the coronavirus lockdown.

The husband and wife duo fronted This Morning between 1988 and 2001 and returned to the ITV breakfast show earlier this year to fill in for Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.  

There return was met with praise from viewers who clearly see how at ease they are presenting together.  

When describing his wife, Richard shared: ‘For my money, Judy’s still the best female presenter in the UK, she is so able and versatile. But of all the presenters I know she was always the most reluctant one, she didn’t enjoy the fame thing at all.’ 

He also said he is not worried about the lockdown restrictions forcing Judy to isolate longer than him due to being over 70 as it should, in his opinion, fall to the individual to make their own choices.
