Richard and Judy Hint at a Big Career Comeback
And while Judy’s been mostly out of the public eye for a while, things might be changing soon.
It turns out the famous duo is plotting a big professional comeback after years of doing their own things.
While Richard still makes TV appearances on This Morning, Judy has been more behind-the-scenes—until now.
The couple has filed to trademark their name again, possibly for a line of products that includes everything from cosmetics to, yes… underwear.
Inspired by That Infamous Wardrobe Moment
There’s even a cheeky nod to Judy’s infamous 2000 wardrobe malfunction at the National Television Awards, when she accidentally flashed her bra on stage.
According to insiders, the moment may have inspired the couple to consider diving into the underwear business.
“Judy’s bra flash was perhaps one of the outstanding moments of their career,” one source told The Mirror.
“And clearly, they still think so—it might even bring in some serious cash.”
Revisiting Their Love Story on Screen
Earlier this year, the couple opened up about their relationship in a Channel 5 documentary titled Our Best Bits – In Our Own Words.
In it, they reminisced about the first time they met back at ITV Granada in the ‘80s, when Judy was still married to journalist David Henshaw and Richard was separating from his first wife.
Judy recalled Richard’s questionable fashion choices—specifically a sky-blue suit—and how she was assigned as his newsroom “mummy” to help show him the ropes.
Richard laughed as he remembered feeling hands on his shoulders and hearing Judy say, “I’m your mummy.”
A little awkward, sure, but the chemistry was clearly instant.
Judy’s Stunning Weight Loss Happened Without a Plan
Judy’s recent glow-up hasn’t gone unnoticed, especially after she dropped five stone back in 2018.
But according to Chloe, the transformation wasn’t the result of some strict plan—it just kind of happened.
“She didn’t really try to lose weight,” Chloe told MailOnline. “Her tastes have just changed with age.
She used to love meat and potatoes, but now her fridge is full of superfood salads and sushi. Even I was shocked!”
Chloe added: “She’s eating so well now—whole grains, raw fish, you name it. It’s been a really natural shift.”
A New Chapter for an Iconic Couple
Between birthday celebrations, strolls in the sun, and a possible business venture on the horizon, Judy Finnigan seems to be entering an exciting new chapter.
Whether she’s enjoying life as a doting grandmother or plotting her next big move with Richard, one thing’s clear—Judy’s still got it.f
