Richard & Judy to end TV partnership?

Richard Madeley has sparked rumours that he and wife Judy Finnigan are to end their 21-year TV partnership after he discussed the possibility of solo work.

The presenter admitted yesterday that there was little left for them to do together on screen, adding that he was looking at solo opportunities.

Speaking on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, Madeley said: "We both feel we have done pretty much all we can do as a partnership, but I think probably we both feel the need to diversify.

"It has been over 20 years doing the same kind of thing and there are tantalising possibilities in terms of solo projects or one-off projects together."

Their latest venture, Richard & Judy's New Position, is reportedly facing the axe after viewing figures fell to just 8,000.
