In a recent podcast, Richard Madeley shared some insights into his long and successful marriage with his wife, Judy Finnigan. After 38 years of marriage, the Good Morning Britain presenter, who is 68 years old, revealed that he and Judy, who is 76 years old, sleep in separate beds. The couple tied the knot in 1986 and welcomed their son that same year, followed by their daughter Chloe in the following year. They also hosted the popular ITV program This Morning together for over a decade, making them one of TV's strongest couples.
While they may seem like the perfect couple on screen, Richard opened up about what really happens behind closed doors. During the interview with Kate Thornton on her White Wine Question Time podcast, he shared that he sleeps in the spare room when he is doing Good Morning Britain. However, he also mentioned that he does sleep better when he is in bed with Judy, but it's still okay for him to sleep alone. Richard also made it clear that he would never want his early morning starts to disrupt his wife's sleep, stating, "I wouldn't think of doing that to Judy. Apart from anything else, Judy and her sleep, you do not mess with."
The topic of their sleeping arrangements came up after Richard revealed last year that they had a pest problem. Mice had started coming into their bedroom at night, forcing Judy to move into the spare room. However, this sleeping arrangement seems to be working for the couple, and Richard has no plans to change it. Their daughter Chloe, who is now 36 years old, has described her parents as inseparable, saying that it's not "normal" for parents to do everything together. She also revealed how watching her parents' relationship has influenced her own expectations and how she knew she would not come first with her former partner, James Haskell, due to his rugby career.
Chloe and James, who amicably split last year, are now focusing on co-parenting their daughter. Despite not sleeping in the same bed anymore, Richard and Judy's bond remains strong, and they continue to be branded as inseparable by their daughter.
