Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan make HUGE announcement 15 years after they were last on screens together

Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan are set to make a huge comeback together, years after their last joint venture. 

The beloved couple, married since 1986, became household names as co-hosts of their iconic show Richard and Judy.

While Judy, 76, has largely stepped away from the spotlight, Richard, 67, remains a regular face on This Morning.

Now, after years apart professionally, the duo hints at an exciting new project together.

The power duo might soon launch their own line of underwear, having trademarked their name for a variety of products, including fragrances, cosmetics, and more.

This week, the Intellectual Property Office published the application.

The couple originally trademarked ‘Richard and Judy’ in 2000 and renewed it late last year, paving the way for their latest business endeavor.

This bold move might have been inspired by Judy’s infamous wardrobe mishap at the 2000 National Television Awards, where she accidentally flashed her bra.

‘Judy’s bra flash was perhaps one of the outstanding moments of their career and may have inspired the couple to consider underwear as an option – and clearly they still think so,’ said an insider, as reported by the Mirror.

‘But it’s not the only product they’ll be able to put their name on and they could make a mint.’ 

Representatives for Richard and Judy have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

The pair first met back in the 80s while working at ITV Granada Television, before going on to tie the knot in 1986. 

Richard and Judy recently reflected upon their relationship in their Channel 5 documentary, Our Best Bits – In Our Own Words, which aired in summer.

They spoke about the first time they met at Granada and the initial chemistry between them.

At the time Judy was wedded to journalist David Henshaw and Richard was in the midst of separating from his first wife Lynda.

Judy said: ‘I remember you coming into the newsroom on your first day, you were wearing a ridiculous sky blue suit… you just looked like a pr**.

‘I was ᴀssigned as your minder, they had a system at Grenada that the newbie would be ᴀssigned a father or a mother to show them the ropes literally, and I was your mother.’

Reminiscing, Richard said: ‘I suddenly felt two hands on the back of my neck and I heard this voice saying ”I’m your mummy” and I turned around and it was this beautiful blonde.

‘It seemed an off thing to say so I was like ”what??” So yeah she was my ᴀssigned mummy.’

Opening up about their first kiss the pair revealed it was after a working day in Blackpool in the back of a black cab.

‘We were filming in Blackpool, we spend a very long day filming promos, we really hit it off. We ended up getting a black cab, because the crew had gone, we went back to Manchester which was a good hours drive.

‘It was in the darkness of the cab that we kind of fell for each other really, and kissed.’

The couple married then welcomed children Jack and Chloe, while also carving out a successful presenting career together, fronting shows including This Morning and their very own teatime magazine show.

And in a new interview, daughter Chloe, 37 opened up about how her parents have navigated their four-decade long relationship as she divulged the secret to their long-lasting union.

When asked how her folks had sustained such a lengthy marriage, she told Closer magazine: ‘They would honestly say the same thing – that the secret to them having such a long marriage is to not get divorced.

‘They’ve been together for over 40 years and during that time there have been periods where they have really struggled, but they kept going and stayed together. I don’t think it was ever bad enough for them to split.’
