TV favourites Richard and Judy are set to team up with each other again, years after they last worked together. The couple co-hosted This Morning and show Richard & Judy for decades, having married in 1986. Judy typically stays out of the spotlight now, while Richard fronts Good Morning Britain. However, it could soon change as the pair seem to have a new project up their sleeves.
Richard and Judy could be on their way to launching a range of undies. They have trademarked their name in order to flog goods including smellies, cosmetics and other merchandise. Intellectual Property Office published the application this week. The TV couple first trademarked 'Richard and Judy' in 2000 and re-applied again in December last year.
It appears the move could have been inspired by Judy's blunder at the National Television Awards in 2000, when she accidentally exposed her bra. “Judy’s bra flash was perhaps one of the outstanding moments of their career and may have inspired the couple to consider underwear as an option — and clearly they still think so," a source told the Sun.
“But it’s not the only product they’ll be able to put their name on and they could make a mint.” Richard and Judy met in 1982 when they worked on separate shows for Granada Television. Both were married to other people about the time of their introduction. "I thought he looked nice. Tall, handsome and all that but I thought the suit was a bit flash. Then, because he was a newbie, I was assigned the job of looking after him," Judy previously told The Mirror of the first time she laid eyes on Richard.
