Richard Madeley has opened up about a pressing fear held by his wife, Judy Finnigan, before they moved in together, and how it led to him fleeing the UK to think “deeply”. In a recent episode of the On The Mend podcast with Matt Willis, Richard discussed the early days of his and Judy’s relationship, a time when they were both divorced and on the cusp of making a significant decision: whether to live together.

According to Richard, Judy, who had twin boys Dan and Tom from her previous marriage to David Henshaw, said she was concerned about whether he knew what he was doing as a stepfather.

To understand how he truly felt about the relationship, Richard jetted off to Greece for a spot of soul-searching. He spent two weeks in the European nation thinking “quite deeply” about his future, but it would all have a happy ending.

Richard said: “So, I went off on my own. I went off to Greece for two weeks on a kind of a solo holiday to think about it, because I didn’t want to rush – well, I wasn’t rushing – but I didn’t want to make that mistake.”

He continued, “Oh, yeah, it’ll be fine,” without airing it out loud and confidently. I’m happy to be your stepfather, I assure you. I needed to know I could deliver and that I was right.

He revealed that he spent two weeks away from Judy and that he thought “quite deeply” about the future and his feelings toward her when he ultimately said he “felt very comfortable” and “told her that” when he returned.

Richard described how the four of them took a trip to Cornwall, where they rented a cottage as a “little trial”. Touchingly, it proved “fantastic”, and they had a “great time”; Richard added that this “sealed it”.

Richard and Judy, who tied the knot in 1986, went on to have two kids together, Chloe and Jack, and now have five grandchildren. In other news, the star, who hosts Good Morning Britain (GMB), recently made a “confession” on the ITV show.

Last week (October 16), he and co-host Kate Garraway updated viewers on the latest news. In the episode, colleague Charlotte Hawkins detailed how the amount of motorists landing penalty points had risen over the past year.

Speaking about the topic with commentators Kwasi Kwarteng and Ayesha Hazarika, Richard said: “I’m going to make a confession now, it’s not a big deal, but whatever.”

He then disclosed that he had six points on his driving licence, saying: “Both because of speed cameras. One for doing 34 mph on a dual carriageway at four thirty in the morning when it was a 30 mph [zone], I didn’t realise that.

“And one for traveling at four in the morning at twenty-four mph in a 20 mph zone.” And I have to admit that I don’t mind getting fined because, yes, I accidentally broke the law, but it also seemed a little unfair to receive three points on a license.

Judy, who had twin boys, Dan and Tom, from her previous marriage to David Henshaw, explained, according to Richard, that she came in a “three-pack” and felt “concerned” about whether he knew what he was doing in terms of being a stepfather.

He continued: “I didn’t want to say airily and with super-confidence, ‘ Oh, yeah, it’ll be fine. You know, I’m happy to be a stepfather’. I needed to know that I could deliver and that I meant it”.

He disclosed that he spent two weeks away to think “quite deeply” about the future and how he felt about Judy, ultimately deciding that he “felt very comfortable” and “told her that” upon his return.

Today’s horoscope for Tuesday, October 21 will see Aries reignite a relationship spark, while Sagittarius will leave no stone unturned in their quest

It’s Tuesday, and one star sign should showcase their creative talents, while another will form a partnership with a creative friend.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

A once passionate relationship feels dull now. This makes you question whether you are drifting apart. The joy and laughter that once filled your days has given way to boredom and you sense the end could be near. Find new things to do together and this could reignite that spark that once brought you together.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Routine chores and outside commitments have piled up more than you intended. When you think about all you have to do, you can’t help but feel overwhelmed. If you can, find ways to share some of these tasks with your housemates or colleagues.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

There are times when you might feel as if the entire world is against you. A kind gesture is misinterpreted and someone seems to suspect hidden motives behind your goodwill. It seems like nothing you do is right. This confusion will eventually pass but getting through it all won’t be easy.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

This is a good time to showcase your creative talents. It doesn’t matter if you paint, write, or act, now is the moment to let other people see what you can do. Share your creations on a craft-focused website, send a manuscript to a publisher or audition for a part. Even someone who is introverted can relish being in the limelight occasionally.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

Be patient. Try not to be overly critical of a younger person who is acting out. They may not have the experience or maturity to handle issues well. By encouraging them to share what’s troubling them, you will gain their appreciation. Expressing feelings can be quite difficult for some.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

Explore everything you can about a culture that has always intrigued you. Immersing yourself in a different lifestyle will feel liberating. You will realise that certain beliefs and practices no longer benefit you. Instead, you will embrace a perspective that aligns with your true self.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

Forming a partnership with a creative friend will ignite your creativity. You will enjoy working with someone who is intelligent, compassionate, and thoughtful. Regardless of whether this relationship is romantic or professional, it will prove advantageous for both of you. You complement each other beautifully.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Signing up for a workshop with your colleagues will be fun and enlightening for you all. When working on a joint project be sure to establish a solid foundation. If you agree on a long-term arrangement, resolve to keep to your promise.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

You intend to leave no stone unturned in your quest for the answer to a challenging question. Searching through a government archive could provide valuable insights. If you hit a roadblock, don’t lose hope. By adjusting your search terms, you will find the information you seek.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

A new friendship or intimate relationship seems to have been put on hold. It will be frustrating not to have many chances to be together. Try to look at yourself as your partner does. As your confidence and self-worth increases, so too will your career and financial success.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Your job is leaving you feeling drained at the end of every day. It is your responsibility to choose healthier options. By reducing your work commitments, your natural zest for life will return. If you continue to take on more tasks, you risk experiencing burnout. It’s highly recommended to take some time off from work.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

It will upset you to realise that a friend or neighbour’s past kindness was insincere. Now they’ve taken all they can from you, they seem to have moved on to another unsuspecting victim. After experiencing several disappointments recently, this friendship is proving to be just another letdown.
