RICHARD Madeley proposed to Judy Finnigan just THREE weeks after they started dating - despite the fact they were both married.
The TV legends got together after meeting while working for Granada television in 1982. Both were in unhappy marriages - with Judy already a mum to six-year-old twins.
Richard said he knew he wanted to marry Judy after just their third date - but she was apprehensive about their eight-year age gap.
She was 34, with six-year-old twins, and he was 26. Judy told the White Wine Question Time podcast while alongside her husband of 36 years: "There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that my boys, who were six, twins, they are - two six year old boys were my absolute priority and they had to be. "And as Richard and I got closer, and it was clear that we… you kind of talked about marriage after about three weeks, didn’t you, I remember. "It was clear things were very, very serious." .css-qu9fel{border-top:1px solid #dcdddd;}.css-b9nmbi{margin-bottom:16px;border-top:1px solid.
