Richard and Judy presented This Morning for the first time in 18 years

Fans went wild for iconic duo Richard and Judy's highly anticipated return to our TV screens on Friday.

The TV legends settled back into the This Morning sofa - a seat they haven't taken since 2001.

And Richard got stuck right in with some awkward questioning when they hosted former Strictly Come Dancing star, Louise Redknapp.

Referencing Louise's marriage to former footballer Jamie Redknapp, Richard asked, "Can I ask what went wrong or is that delving too deep?"

Er, awkward.

But Louise kept her cool and laughed it off.

She giggled, "‘I wish I knew. It was really sad times. It was really sad and devastating for the whole family.

"And when there are children involved, it’s something that takes a long time to get over."

And when THOSE rumours about Louise and Jamie's marriage falling victim to the Strictly Come Dancing curse in 2017 cropped up in conversation, Louise still remained calm.

Louise said, "I think it reminded me, and this was no one else’s fault and definitely not Jamie’s, things that go on in a marriage are far deeper than a TV programme.

"There’s different emotions and feelings which go on for years. I think what the programme really did for me it just reminded me of how much I really loved performing and music and singing."

She added, "I get asked about it all the time and I never try and shut it down because I think it’s happened and it was very public. But when there’s a whole family involved, it’s massive in everybody’s life."
