Richard and Judy set to return to This Morning for the first time in 18 years

Presenting legends Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan will be making a comeback on today's episode of This Morning for a special two hour show.

Filling in for another couple, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, the husband and wife presenting duo were fan favourites but haven't appeared on the show since 2001.

They were renowned for their hilarious and often argumentative chemistry, which drew legions of fans to the show from the late eighties until the early noughties.

Richard, 63, and Judy, 71, started their own show – Richard and Judy – after they left, which was a hit with fans and ran for eight years until 2009.


Despite their departure, Richard says that the show means a lot to the couple.

He said: "This Morning holds a very special place in our hearts, so we couldn't be more delighted to take the helm once again."

They've made a single appearance on This Morning since their departure, but as guests.

Joining Love Island's Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague on the sofa, Rochelle Humes joked: "You can sit in for us later if you want."

Richard's since gone out on his own with various solo presenting gigs, including Cluedo and Fortune: Million Pound Giveaway. He even got to flex his comedic muscles on hit panel show have I Got News For You.

They tied the knot back in 1986, two years before landing the This Morning gig. They also have two kids together, Jack, born in 1986, and Chloe the year after.

Richard had been married before, but divorced Lynda Hooley in 1983 and has since been open about how he thought it was a big mistake.

This Morning airs 25th October at 10:30am on ITV.
