The Good Morning Britain anchor has been married to Judy Finnigan since 1986, and they’ve starred together on several programmes, such as This Morning and Richard and Judy

Good Morning Britain’s Richard Madeley has opened up about how co-presenting live TV with his wife Judy Finnigan was like therapy for their marital tiffs. In the first episode of Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair on ITVX, Richard got candid with his daughter about his and Judy’s 35-year marriage.

He revealed that working closely with your spouse every day could be challenging. “Well, I mean, sometimes, you’d have a row. And you’d get to work not talking,” he admitted. “But the show was a cure.”

He went on to explain: “I mean, it wasn’t, like, false, you actually did genuinely have to come on and do the double act. You would find that within maybe 15, 20 minutes of going on air.”

Chloe chimed in with: “The ice thawed,” prompting Richard to continue: “You’d just forgotten all about it because you were both focusing on the job. And so it was a very good way of processing a row,” reports the Express.

Meanwhile, Richard’s daughter Chloe has recently sent out a stark warning to fellow parents after her little one had a terrifying incident. The fitness guru was thrown into a state of alarm when her two-year-old suffered a nasty injury after getting her tongue caught in an ice cream fridge.

A mum has taken to social media with a dire warning for fellow parents after her little one, Bodhi, had a narrow escape reminiscent of a scene from the 1994 comedy hit Dumb and Dumber. In a detailed account on her Instagram story, she recounted the chilling incident.

“Bodhi pulled a Dumb and Dumber and got her tongue stuck in/on an ice-cream fridge today,” she wrote. “She pulled away and ripped a very small amount of skin off, but oh my lord, the amount of blood was truly astonishing. Just writing this post as a hopeful reminder to all parents before ice-cream season hits.”

Chloe continued: “The mouth bleeds a LOT even when it’s a tiny surface wound. You need to apply pressure for up to ten minutes before assessing if the bleeding is slowing down/whether you need to go to A&E.

“The reason I’m writing this is not because I know better but because I completely forgot ALL the above and instead just went into a sort of panic mode. Sorry to anyone at David Lloyd who witnessed this. I’d love to pretend this kind of thing rarely happens but that would be a lie and my child is insane.”
