Appearing on today’s episode of Lorraine (30.10.19), Richard said: “Judy has been saying no to everything for a decade now, she won’t come back to do telly.

“But she loved coming back to This Morning.

“They’ve asked us to do it again. So we will, we still have to work it all out though.

“We’re not after anyone’s jobs or anything like that.

“It’ll be like having an occasional party. And it won’t be a nostalgic-fest looking back. It’ll just be a normal show.”

The couple were the very first hosts of the daytime staple for 13 years between 1988 and 2001.

They came back to host a one-off show on October 25, with Richard opening the show by saying: “Do not adjust your set.

“It’s lovely to be back but it’s weird.”

But despite their legendary status, fans were divided about their return.
