Judy Finnigan

I'm probably best known for hosting This Morning for 13 years with my husband, Richard Madeley, having recorded the first episode in October 1988, live from Liverpool’s Albert Dock.

After leaving This Morning in 2001 we went on to present ‘Richard & Judy’ on Channel 4. During this time we started the Richard & Judy Book club, which was responsible for a revolution in the nation’s reading habits that still remains a popular today.

I know I said I wouldn't go back on the telly, but actually I'm looking forward to contributing to lively conversations between a group of outspoken and intelligent women!
