Former This Morning presenter Judy Finnigan, who hosted the show with her husband Richard Madeley, was seen beside her daughter and grandchild in a photo shared recently
Former This Morning host Judy Finnigan was seen beside her daughter Chloe Madeley and one of her grandchild in a family photo shared over the weekend. The trio spent time together alongside Richard Madeley recently.
Chloe, 38, took to Instagram yesterday to share photos of her parents Judy, 77, and Richard, 69, with her daughter Bodhi, three. The personal trainer, who is the youngest of the couple’s two children together, shares her daughter with her ex James Haskell, whom she split from back in 2023.
The first photo showed Good Morning Britain host Richard sat a table with his granddaughter Bodhi on his shoulders. Chloe, who had her arm around her father, was seen stood beside them in the photo shared with her followers.

A second photo from the family’s outing showed Judy beside Bodhi and Chloe. She was seen smiling whilst her granddaughter sat on her mother’s lap at the table, and Chloe was seen kissing her daughter on the forehead in the photo.
It comes after Judy was met with compliments from fans just months ago after Chloe gave them a glimpse into her mother’s birthday celebrations in May. She marked the special occasion in a post on the platform at the time.
Judy, who was seen wearing a floral dress, was shown being presented with a cake in a video. Other content shared by Chloe showed balloons and her mother was seen spending time with family in a garden several photos.
The post prompted well wishes from fans. One wrote in the comments section: “How amazing does she look. Happy Birthday to Judy.” Another said: “Judy is looking beautiful.” Whilst a third person reacted to the post: “Judy looks fabulous. Happiest of birthdays to my favourite ever presenter.”
Judy is best known for presenting This Morning alongside her husband Richard. The couple hosted the ITV show from 1988 to 2001. They went on to front the chat show Richard & Judy on Channel 4 from 2001 until 2008.
She’s also an author, having released novels such as Eloise. And alongside her husband, she’s known for being behind the long-running Richard and Judy Book Club, which recommends books for other readers to try themselves.
Judy is now said to have retired from TV and she told the Independent in an interview in 2023: “I’ve got absolutely no interest in it at all now.” She said that it had been a “fabulous” career though and that she “loved most of it”.
She said it was “fascinating” and that she had met some “amazing people” over the years. Judy added: “But I did it for 30-odd years and the kind of TV I was doing was full-on, it was live and it completely sucks up your life.”
In the interview, Judy went on to say that as a parent she had “got fed up” of her career as a presenter. She told the outlet: “I wanted my own life instead of one that needed me to be in a studio at seven o’clock in the morning.”
