Yet the broadcaster has now opened up on the terrifying reason behind her new look - and the health scare that proved life-changing. In 2018, Judy needed two life-saving blood transfusions after taking ibuprofen for her knee pain sparked a stomach ulcer. Opening up on the horror incident, which could have seen her "bleed out within an hour" she has told MailOnline: "I nearly died.

The change took her super fit daughter Chloe - who acts as her PT - by surprise, and the professional trainer admitted in 2018 that all the hard work was done by her mum without any help from her. Speaking on Loose Women, she explained how her mum's diet consisted of raw fish and healthy whole grain salads, though she wasn't interested in gym workouts. She said: "I was as surprised as anyone else when I opened the fridge on coming home on the weekend and saw superfood salads and soups, I thought, what the hell is going on! Richard Madeley takes a swipe at This Morning saying his show with Judy was different because 'we're trained journalists' "I have to say her diet is now amazing. Her palate has changed. She has got into sushi, raw fish and whole grain salad. She has dropped the pounds naturally." Earlier this month, mum of one Chloe then shared a selection of snaps from Judy's family birthday celebrations at home. She wrote in the caption: ""Rosé flowing with your chosen family. "Happy birthday to my favourite woman in the world." LOVE STORY Judy's birthday celebrations come after Richard gave an update on their working relationship. The pair rose to fame co-hosting ITV's This Morning and their eponymous Channel 4 program, Richard & Judy. Judy retired from working on TV in 1986, but Richard decided to stay on and his currently a co-host on ITV's Good Morning Britain. 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." 6 6 6

Judy Finnigan reveals how she lost two stone and overhauled her health after she 'nearly died'
Judy Finnigan has revealed how she lost two stone and overhauled her health after she 'nearly died' from a ruptured stomach ulcer. The television presenter, 77, suffered a major health scare in 2018 when she was left needing 'two life-saving blood transfusions.' As a result, she worked alongside her personal trainer daughter Chloe Madeley, 34, to make better life style choices which kept the pounds off. Speaking in a new interview with Bella, Judy explained how taking ibuprofen left her with a stomach ulcer that could have seen her 'bleed out within half an hour' without medical intervention. She said: 'I nearly died. Totally out of the blue never experienced anything like it before and ope to god I never will again.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Judy continued: 'I survived thanks to exceptionally swift arriving and skilled ambulance crew and superb emergency treatment at London's Royal Free Hospital and two major life-saving blood transfusions. Chloe put Judy on a revised programme of eating and exercising, which saw her drop two stone. A source told the magazine: 'Judy has had a few underlying medical conditions over the years and losing weight has ad a significant impact on her general health.' Two weeks ago Judy looked incredible as she celebrated her 77th birthday with her family. The festivities were documented by daughter Chloe who shared a slew of rare snaps of her mother, who has retreated from the public eye in recent years. Judy was dressed to impress for the occasion, showcasing her weight loss in a £126 floral Boden dress. She was treated to balloons, flowers and a cake for her big day, as the family celebrated while out enjoying the sunshine in the garden. Chloe captioned her post: 'Rosé flowing with your chosen family. Happy birthday to my favourite woman in the world.' And the birthday bash ended up being a two-day event, with Judy later seen in a flowing black top and trousers as they enjoyed another sunny day in the garden. Judy has been enjoying a new lease of life after losing five stone in 2018. While she made headlines with her new look, daughter Chloe told MailOnline that her mother wasn't even trying to lose weight and it all happened rather naturally. At the time, Chloe said: 'Her palette is changing as she's getting older and I think she was always a kind of meat and potatoes kind of girl. 'I actually haven't had anything to do with it. 'I was as surprised as anyone else when I opened the fridge on coming home on the weekend and saw superfood salads and soups, I thought, what the hell is going on!' She added: 'I have to say her diet is now amazing. Her palate has changed. She has got into sushi, raw fish and whole grain salad. She has dropped the pounds naturally.' While Judy has largely stepped away from the spotlight, Richard remains a regular face on This Morning. The pair first met back in the Eighties while working at ITV Granada Television, before going on to tie the knot in 1986.

Wildest Loose Women moments amid ITV's ‘bloodbath' from C-bombs to celeb wars
As ITV axes jobs and trims Loose Women to 30 weeks a year, we look back at the show's wildest moments from C-bomb chaos to celebrity feuds—that made headlines and shook daytime TV As ITV's daytime lineup faces a shake-up, with sweeping job cuts dubbed a 'bloodbath' threatening nearly half of its staff, it's hard not to reflect on the rollercoaster year Loose Women has delivered on screen. Whilst the show's future is uncertain, it is known for its lively debates and candid revelations, which have created some of the most bizarre, emotional, and headline-grabbing moments. Many are in shock at the news that nearly 220 staff members could lose their jobs across ITV 's daytime schedule, affecting flagship shows like Loose Women, Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, and This Morning. Loose Women itself is being cut back to a 'seasonal' schedule of 30 weeks a year in cost-saving measures. But before the dust settles on these dramatic changes, there have been some truly unforgettable moments that made Loose Women a must-watch, from shocking confessions to celebrity clashes. Loose Women is no stranger to controversy, with many moments that have made headlines across the country. Here's a look at the bizarre and unforgettable moments that kept viewers glued to their screens: 'Rapist sympathising' storm Judy Finnigan made a controversial debut in 2014 when she spoke about footballer Ched Evans' rape conviction appeal, saying: 'The rape was not violent, he didn't cause any bodily harm to the person.' Outraged viewers accused her of sympathising with a rapist. She later clarified: 'I absolutely wasn't suggesting that rape was anything other than an horrendous crime... I was in no way attempting to minimise the terrible ordeal that any woman suffers as a result.' Earlier in 2006, the Irish Independent reported that Loose Women conducted a poll asking viewers whether they believed rape could ever be a woman's fault. The poll was met with widespread criticism from viewers and organizations such as Rape Crisis, leading ITV to issue an apology, acknowledging the poll as "misjudged". The C-bomb scandal In 2016, Katie Price 's son Harvey shocked viewers when he joined the show to talk about online bullying. Asked how he'd respond to trolls, he said: 'Hello, you c***.' Katie quickly reacted with, 'Erm, Harvey!', as Andrea McLean stepped in to apologise for the language. Gay rights row In 2015, Coleen Nolan sparked fury by defending a bakery that refused to decorate a cake supporting same-sex marriage. She compared it to being asked to make a cake with an ISIS message, saying: 'Would they have to make that?' The comments prompted outrage, with viewers demanding she be sacked, though no action was taken. Joan Rivers' swear-filled red carpet rant Comedy legend Joan Rivers didn't hold back in 2008 when asked about her Hollywood encounters: 'You get someone like Russell Crowe, and you want to say to the camera, ' He is a piece – get ready to bleep this – of f****** s***!'' Her panellist pals had to scramble to apologise, with Jane McDonald quipping: 'We haven't got a bleeper. We're live!' Fat-shaming fury Janet Street-Porter faced backlash in 2022 after saying Wayne Rooney looked like he was 'about to explode' out of his suit during the Wagatha Christie trial. Angry viewers branded her 'vile', with one asking: 'Imagine if she was saying that about a woman?' Continuing with the theme of fat-shaming, in 2015, the BBC reported Jamelia faced criticism after stating that high street stores shouldn't stock clothes for individuals above a certain size, suggesting that it encourages unhealthy lifestyles. She later apologised, clarifying that her comments were taken out of context. Katie Price's bum flash Viewers were left open-mouthed in 2016 when Katie Price modelled a high-slit dress during a fashion segment and accidentally flashed her bum on live TV. Some called it 'awkward viewing' – others hailed her figure as 'amazing". Kim Woodburn walks out Tensions erupted in 2018 when Kim Woodburn stormed off set, branding Coleen Nolan 'lying trash' and calling her a 'piece of filth' after a brutal on-air clash. The explosive row prompted over 3,000 Ofcom complaints, with Kim later claiming she'd been ambushed. Coleen and the panel said they had "genuinely hoped for a reconciliation". Charlotte Crosby's nose job clash Charlotte Crosby vowed never to return after feeling 'bullied' over her nose job in 2016. In an awkward grilling, Janet Street-Porter asked: 'What message does that send to teenage girls who… might think, 'My nose has a lump in it but I haven't got four grand to spend'?' Charlotte told new! Magazine: 'It was a horrible experience. I cried before and afterwards. I was bullied. I'm never going on again in my life.' Josie Cunningham's abortion for nose job confession In 2015, there was outrage and a public backlash after Josie Cunninham revealed that she had an abortion so that she could get nose job to further her porn career. Jane Moore heavily criticised her being on the show, stating: "I was very uncomfortable with you coming on the show today. I don't like the fact that you are on the show. It's not because I don't like you. "You need help as far as I'm concerned, to actually look at yourself and say, 'Why do I have such a low opinion of myself that I think that porn and all of this'…you don't have any self-esteem and when you look in the mirror I feel that you will never like what you see."
