The couple co-hosted This Morning and show Richard & Judy for decades, having married in 1986. Judy typically stays out of the spotlight now, while Richard fronts Good Morning Britain.

It appears the move could have been inspired by Judy's blunder at the National Television Awards in 2000, when she accidentally exposed 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," a source told the Sun.
Richard and Judy met in 1982 when they worked on separate shows for Granada Television. Both were married to other people about the time of their introduction.
Judy previously told The Mirror: "I thought he looked nice. Tall, handsome and all that but I thought the suit was a bit flash. Then, because he was a newbie, I was assigned the job of looking after him”.

Richard went on to have a very happy marriage to wife Judy and they share daughter Chloe.
