Regular Good Morning Britain guest host Richard famously presented This Morning alongside his wife Judy Finnigan fro 1988 to 2001.

Jenny once stood-in for Judy as Richard's co-presenter, but admits it wasn't a pleasant experience.

She told : "My worst job would have to be doing This Morning with Richard Madeley for a few weeks when Judy was off.

"I found that quite challenging.

"It's difficult to replace someone temporarily - someone who's been working with their husband and then all of a sudden you're there."

Jenny - who also presented Top of the Pops and Wheel of Fortune - went on to reveal the reason she was driven to quit Loose Women.

She was a guest presenter on the ITV show in the early 2000s, appearing alongside the likes of Stacey Solomon and Janet Street-Porter.

But she left Loose Women in 2005 and never returned - admitting now it's because she felt "intimidated" by the other women.
