“Aside from anything else, you can’t mess with Judy and her sleep.”
Richard and Judy recently reflected on their relationship their Channel 5 documentaryOur Best Bits – In Our Own Words, broadcast in the summer.
The pair spoke about the first time they met in Granada and the initial chemistry between them.
Judy was married to journalist David Henshaw at the time and Richard was in the middle of a divorce from his first wife Lynda.
Judy said: ‘I remember you came into the newsroom on your first day, you were wearing a ridiculous sky blue suit… you just looked like a pr**.’
“I was appointed as your babysitter, in Grenada they had a system where the newcomer was assigned a father or mother to literally show him the ropes, and I was your mother.”
Reminiscing, Richard said: ‘I suddenly felt two hands on my neck and I heard a voice say, ‘I’m your mother’ and I turned around and it was this beautiful blonde. ‘
“It seemed like an odd thing to say, so I was like, ‘What?’” So yeah, she was my assigned mother.”
The iconic duo first met in the 1980s while working at ITV Granada Television, before tying the knot in 1986.
Opening up about their first kiss, the pair revealed it was after a day’s work in Blackpool in the back of a black cab.
‘We were filming in Blackpool, we spent a really long day filming promos, we really hit it off. We ended up getting a black cab, as the crew were away we went back to Manchester which was a good hour away.’
‘It was in the darkness of the taxi that we really fell for each other and kissed.’
The couple married and subsequently welcomed children Jack and Chloe, while also forging a successful presenting career together, with shows including This Morning and their own teatime magazine show.
