Richard Madeley comes clean over Judy as co-star quips ‘It says a lot about your marriage’

Richard Madeley has admitted his wife, Judy Finnigan, made a dig over his looks, prompting a snarky response from his Good Morning Britain co-star.

The former This Morning star, 68, addressed Donald Trump’s recent criticism of Prince William’s appearance with a beard on the ITV show today.

Richard believed a woman in the street told him to keep his own beard, which lasted for ten days before he shaved it off. A poll on Good Morning Britian’s X account saw 66.3 per cent vote for Richard to get rid of the stubble. So on Tuesday morning, he whipped it all off during an advert break.

However, his wife of 38 years, Judy, didn’t even notice the facial hair, as the Richard bashfully admitted. When Andrew Pierce inquired as to whether the mother-of-four had even clocked his new appearance, Richard responded, “We had lunch out yesterday, and a very nice lady came up, she was talking about it, and she said I voted you should keep it!” ‘. Judy said: ‘ What’s she talking about? ‘. So no, she didn’t notice, never mind”. Not missing a beat, Andrew quipped: “Says a lot about you marriage, Richard”!

Some viewers were quite offended by the facial hair, even though the majority of viewers voted for Richard to lose his beard. Taking to X, one mused: “I am absolutely loving the new beard growing, stick with it Richard, it will look very distinguished”. Meanwhile, another said: “Another added:” Richard’s ‘ stubble ‘ blends in with his make up. “While a third person mused:” The Middle East is on fire but let’s talk about Richard’s beard”.

On the morning chat show, Richard has previously been forced to shave his facial hair. The presenter made a revelation in November 2018 when he learned that the Good Morning Britain boss had called him to get a shave. At the time, Richard said:” The fuzz from yesterday is gone. The phone went as I was just going to bed last night. It was the ‘ big man’. Something was aimed at me as I heard it.

“He said”, Before I go, the beard… it’s fine on the tablets and the kitchen tellies, but in HD it looks like you’ve got in late and not had time to shave. “‘
