Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan are to launch their own book club, it has been reported.

The announcement comes after Channel 4 said that it was bringing back its popular Book Club programme, but without the duo who brought it success.

The couple have agreed with publishers that their sticker will continue to go on front covers, according to The Daily Telegraph. "We should see the first of our recommended reads in bookshops next year," said Madeley, who will promote the titles on the couple's website.

Amanda Ross, the pair's former producer at Channel 4, announced the launch of TV Book Club earlier this month. Celebrities such as Jo Brand, Gok Wan, and Laila Rouass will review ten books when the series starts next month on More4.

"We're thrilled to be bringing the Book Club back and to have a home on More4," said Ross. "Publishers, libraries and retailers have all provided invaluable support, which is set to continue to create a whole new wave of star authors."
