And today was the day and many viewers were over the moon.
At the start of the show, Richard said: “We did warn you, we said we would come back. Hello and welcome to your Friday This Morning with Richard and Judy.”
We did warn you, we said we would come back.
Judy said: “And here’s what we’ve got coming up…” to which Richard interrupted: “No, no, wait. We’re having a little chat first.”
Judy asked: “Oh are we? Do we have to? I chat to you all the time I can’t think of anything fresh to say!”
Richard continued: “Well I was just going to say when we did this two or three months ago for the first time in 20-odd years, I opened by saying that it felt really weird.

“I’ve never had time to explain it. What I meant was it felt weird because it didn’t feel weird.
“It felt like they had put us in a freezer 22 years ago and then we’ve been defrosted the night before and we just picked up from where we left off.”
Judy added: “But we wouldn’t have aged!”
Many viewers were thrilled to have the pair back on their screens and shared their thoughts on Twitter.
One person said: “@thismorning loving Richard & Judy. They are naturals. We need to see them more often.”

Another said: “Richard and Judy are back and nothing’s changed he still interrupts and talks over her.”
