Richard Madeley admits Judy Finnigan is 'happy to call it a day' in candid chat


Richard Madeley has opened up his wife Judy Finnigan's decision to step back from the spotlight, saying she is "very happy to call it a day" and allow him to do his own "thing"

"The actual moment, the broadcasting she did, but all the stuff that goes with it, especially for women on telly, she found it a lot of baggage to carry," reports the Express. And he acknowledged that Judy, aged 76, still plays a significant role as his discerning critic, sharing her insights via WhatsApp from her own bedroom. In fact, during a holiday in France, a disagreement escalated to the point where Judy "didn't speak" to her husband for the first two days because he'd forgotten to pack her summer clothes.
