Judy Finnigan 'banned' Richard Madeley from Strictly Come Dancing

Judy Finnigan says she and her children have “banned” husband Richard Madeley from taking part in Strictly Come Dancing.

Finnigan, who ruled out appearing on the dance show herself due to ruptured anterior cruciate ligaments, said despite several approaches Madeley won’t be gracing the ballroom.

“The idea of him doing Strictly for me and the kids was just so spine tinglingly embarrassing” said Finnigan. “We’ve banned him.”

“He wouldn't ask me if he should do it,” she added. “He might mention it - there would be a huge collective sigh around the table 'oh no, oh no you're not going to do that are you?’ I'd be saying 'oh no, oh no, please don't’."
