They’ve been married for 36 years, but it seems Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan still struggle with co-habiting, as Judy has admitted that they often squabble behind closed doors.
The former presenter, 75, says she and Richard, 67, are having regular battles at home over menial things such as heating and lighting. ‘Our annual heating wars’, Judy says of the rows. But while these clashes are somewhat relatable for most couples, this isn’t the only time Richard and Judy have disagreed over their lifestyle choices.
Dark and cold
When reacting to the news that King Charles has ordered staff to turn down thermostats in a bid to make Buckingham Palace greener, Judy said, 'My heart sank a little when I heard King Charles has issued orders to palace flunkeys to keep the central heating pegged at a lukewarm 19C in winter (that's 66F in old money) and an even chillier 16C (barely 60F) in unused rooms.
'While I applaud his thriftiness and noble example-setting to his shivering subjects, I know it will just add ammo to my husband's locker in our annual "heating wars". She added, 'I'm in with the some like it hot lot. Richard is in the school for cool and forever turning the thermostat down.' And there's another household battle that has left Richard in trouble.
