Richard and Judy have turned down a "name your price" offer to return to ITV.

The pair were apparently being lined up as replacements for Paul O'Grady, who quit his ITV1 teatime show in favour of a new deal with Channel 4. He will share the 5pm timeslot with Richard and Judy and each show will air for half the year.

"They eventually politely turned ITV down," an insider told the Daily Star. "Richard and Judy are happy with their deal at Channel 4."
