Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan are officially making their TV comeback as a duo.

The married presenters have signed up to host a brand new five-part series for Channel 4 that will bring to mind a popular segment from their classic Richard & Judy chatshow.

Many who loved that show's Book Club recommendation segments will probably be thrilled for their new show, titled Richard & Judy: Keep Reading and Carry On, where the hosts will be joined virtually from their home by authors and celebrities to discuss the books they are reading during lockdown.

"Books can transport you to incredible places from the comfort of your sofa and so there is no better time to share our top picks for lockdown reads and hear from viewers, celebrities and authors about the books that have helped them whilst staying at home," Finnigan said on Wednesday (April 22).

Keep Reading and Carry On will be Finnigan's first regular presenting job since she walked away from Loose Women back in 2015.

She's more recently reunited for a one-off co-hosting stint with husband Richard on their old series This Morning this past October.

Of their newest on-screen reunion in Keep Reading and Carry On, Richard has said: "It is no secret that Judy and I are avid readers and we are excited to return to Channel 4 to share what we love with viewers."

"Richard and Judy are both much loved Channel 4 faces and the country's most trusted arbiters of what's worth reading – the perfect duo to get us through the remainder of lockdown with the help of a few good book," Channel 4's director of programming Ian Katz added.

Richard & Judy: Keep Reading and Carry On will air five 30-minute episodes over one week from Monday, May 4 on Channel 4 at 5.30pm.
