Richard and Judy

Daytime TV legends Richard and Judy will reportedly be returning to the This Morning sofa next week.

The husband and wife presenting team will make an appearance to celebrate the programme's 21st anniversary on Monday, reports the Daily Mirror.

A source told the paper: "Richard and Judy presented the show for so many years that it seems natural that they should come on to celebrate a landmark birthday. But when their chat show flopped, they said they wouldn't do more TV together.

"Their appearance on the This Morning sofa could be their last one on screen as a couple. Fans will also be interested to know what they are up to now."

Richard and Judy were the first presenters on This Morning when the show launched back in 1988. They presented the programme together for 13 years before their shock exit in 2001, when they signed to Channel 4.

Their most recent chat show on Watch flopped with viewers and the series ended in July.

Other ex-This Morning presenters, including Fern Britton, are expected to appear in special video messages on Monday's show.

Are you excited at the prospect of seeing Richard and Judy back on This Morning? How do current presenters Phillip and Holly compare to them? Let us know what you think...

    Phil & Holly dont compare to Richard & Judy or Phil & Fern No magic at all. Holly isnt even a journalist is she? Her presenting on the x factor is all about her and nothing else!!

    I think they have had their time. They should look to hang up their TV careers. The lastest show on Watch proves this.

    Excited? Not at all!! And I'm not surprised there have so far not been any comments on this 'news'. I don't watch This Morning in any case, so can't comment on Phillip and Holly vs Richard and Judy, although I have to say ANYBODY would probably be better than those two .................... sorry!
