We all knew it was going to happen, but now it's been made official, we still feel a bit sad. Richard and Judy and today announced that they have quit their UKTV chat show. Only a year after signing to Watch, and amid rumours that the show was going to be axed due to falling viewing figures, R & J have confirmed they will be leaving the channel when the current series ends on 3 July. The couple said, "It’s a shame we couldn’t get this one to fly, but it became obvious that it wasn’t the right fit with a brand new pay-for-view digital channel. TV is all about taking risks and that means sometimes you fail. It was a really worthwhile experiment and we don’t regret it at all." The married couple are also saying farewell to working together, choosing instead to work on separate projects in the future. What do you think Richard and Judy should do next?
