Richard recently opened up on how they were able to make their relationship work for so long, saying they were mainly "semi-detached."
The pair spoke about their relationship during a joint interview on Kate Thornton's White Wine Question Time.
Judy explained: "We are incredibly close, we always have been.
"Obviously, I think working together for so long has bonded us more tightly than if we had two completely separate jobs."

She added: "I think the thing is, when you're presenting a show like the kind that we presented, it's very instinctive, you're doing interviews all the time."
"By the time I decided I'd had enough, you and I were something completely different anyway, it just didn't matter, it didn't make any difference at all.
"When you go and do GMB, I'm still here in bed, I'm happy to stay when he gets up, it doesn't make any difference at all to our relationship."
Richard explained: "I can see that from the outside, it looks as if... as you say, we were bonded in our professional lives together and now we're not, but actually, here on the inside, we still are."
