Richard Madeley: I still fancy Judy

Presenter says he'd never stray from his wife

Richard Madeley puts the secret of a happy marriage down to still finding his wife attractive.

And the presenter, 50, who has just celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with Judy Finnigan, 58, says he has never wanted to stray.

'I've never cheated on Judy and never will,' he told the Daily Mirror. 'I've been completely faithful and I know she has to me.

'It hasn't been difficult. We're attracted to each other still and always have been. You have to feel passionately about your partner. You have to, otherwise it's bloody boring and sex is important. It's the bedrock.

'We've been lucky. You can't control that chemistry. It's either there or it's not. Judy and I are completely devoted to each other.'

The couple, who work together on Channel 4's Richard and Judy show, have two children, Jack, 20, and Chloe, 19. Judy also has twin sons from her first marriage.
