Beloved  TV presenter Judy Finnigan made a rare and radiant appearance this weekend as she celebrated her 77th birthday with her family by her side.

The This Morning legend was all smiles during an intimate garden gathering, where she was joined by her husband Richard Madeley, their children Chloe and Jack, and granddaughter Bodhi. The celebration was lovingly captured and shared on Instagram by daughter Chloe, who called Judy her “favourite woman in the world.”

Judy looked effortlessly elegant in a floral dress as she posed with balloons, unwrapped presents, and tucked into birthday  cake under the sunshine. Chloe’s heartfelt caption read: “Rosé flowing with your chosen family. Happy birthday to my favourite woman in the world.”

The heartwarming post drew in birthday wishes from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Vicky Pattison commented “Happy birthday Queen Judy”, while Vanessa Feltz, Charlotte Hawkins and Louise Thompson also sent their love.

The day included a family walk and a sweet surprise moment, when little Bodhi spotted her grandparents on a book club poster — a touching reminder of Judy and Richard’s legendary careers. The couple, who first met in the 1980s, famously hosted This Morning and later their own talk show Richard & Judy.

Despite stepping away from the limelight in recent years, Judy’s recent podcast appearance with Richard proved their bond remains unshakable. “We are incredibly close,” she shared. “Working together for so long bonded us tighter than most couples.”

Now approaching four decades together, Judy and Richard’s love story continues to inspire — and her 77th birthday was a beautiful reminder of family, joy, and legacy.
