Judy Finnigan makes rare public outing as she beams at birthday get-together
TV veteran Judy Finnigan turned 77 this weekend and she celebrated in the best way possible, surrounded by her loved ones as her daughter Chloe documented their day
Beaming Judy Finnigan looked radiant as she celebrated her 77th birthday with her family this weekend.
The TV veteran marked the special day with those closest to her as she smile for some fun-filled snaps. The former This Morning's host daughter Chloe took to Instagram to share the moment with mum Judy, dad Richard Madeley, brother Jack and her young daughter Bodhi.
Judy looked fantastic wearing a floral dress for the occasion, and it would be a birthday unless she was treated to cake, balloons, presents and flowers as they all enjoyed the sunshine. Chloe captioned the post: "Rosé flowing with your chosen family. Happy birthday to my favourite woman in the world."
It wasn't long before friends, famous faces and fans made sure Judy felt the love. "Happy birthday Queen Judy," reality star Vicky Pattison commented, as Vanessa Feltz said: "Happy birthday Judy. Charlotte Hawkins, Louise Thompson and Bryony Gordon also sent their well wishes.
It was a nice relaxing birthday for her, the family went for a walk after they unwrapped some presents and Chloe captured the moment little Bodhi saw her grandparents on a poster for their book club. Then it was back to the house to cut the cake as they enjoyed some time together.
Speaking to Kate Thornton recently on her White Wine Question Time podcast, Richard and Judy revealed that although their working relationship has gone separate ways, their love is as strong as ever. The duo fronted This Morning from 1988 until 2001, and then their own Channel 4 chat show Richard & Judy from 2001 to 2009, before embarking on separate professional commitments
Judy said: "We are incredibly close, we always have been. Obviously, I think working together for so long has bonded us more tightly than if we had two completely separate jobs." She then explained that the magazine format of the shows they used to front gave both her and her husband of nearly 40 years an "instinct" they'll never shake off.
She said: "I think the thing is, when you're presenting a show like the kind that we presented, it's very instinctive, you're doing interviews all the time. By the time I decided I'd had enough, you and I were something completely different anyway, it just didn't matter, it didn't make any difference at all.
The couple have two children, Chloe, 37, and son Jack, 38. Richard is also step-father to Judy’s twins Dan and Tom, from her previous marriage to David Henshaw. The pair first met on Richard's very first day working at Granada and they quickly became close, and have been together since 1986.
