Richard and Judy met at work back in 1982 and went on to present ITV's This Morning together
Richard Madeley and wife Judy Finnigan have been happily married for 37 years. But before they met and tied the knot the love lives of the pair weren't always plain sailing, reports the MirrorOnline.
Richard then met Judy when he joined Granada to present alongside Tony Wilson and Judy, who at eight years his senior was the more experienced journalist. "I remember the first time I saw him. He walked into the newsroom and I was sitting at my desk at the other end," Judy recalled of their fateful first meeting. "I remember exactly what he was wearing: a pale blue linen suit. I thought he looked nice. Tall, handsome and all that but I thought the suit was a bit flash.
From their third date he knew he wanted to marry Judy, but at 26, she feared he wasn't ready to be a step-father to her then six-year-old twins Dan and Tom from her first marriage to journalist David Henshaw. "I had to be absolutely convinced that Richard was mature enough and sure enough of his own mind that my boys weren't going to be hurt," she said.
Opening up about the devastating loss for 2018 Channel 4 documentary Child of Mine, Richard recalled how they went for a routine scan at 16 weeks, only to be told their baby had passed away. He recalled: "It was utterly devastating: no warning; no earlier, gentle, indication of the possibility of catastrophe. Our baby had just died. And he was still in Judy's womb.
In fact, the hormone replacement therapy she was put on did quite the opposite, so much so that they had to sleep in separate beds while she healed from the surgery. In 1988 they took up a job on a show that would change their lives forever - ITV's This Morning. With their journalistic backgrounds and natural chemistry, they revived the daytime show and quickly became the nation's favourites.
