Richard Madeley has made a cheeky dig at wife Judy Finnegan while discussing pop star Anne-Marie’s fall during her live performance at the BRIT Awards.
The 65-year-old presenter was back on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday alongside co-host Susanna Reid.
They kicked off the latest ITV breakfast show by discussing all gossip from the BRITs ceremony the night before.
Richard brought up the moment that pop star Anne-Marie, 30, took a dramatic tumble while performing her song Kiss My (Uh Oh) in front of fans at the O2 Arena and millions of viewers at home.
Fans were quick to throw their support behind the singer for continuing with her big performance despite hurting her left ankle.
During the conversation, Richard couldn’t help but bring up his wife Judy’s memorable wardrobe malfunction from the 2001 National Television Awards.
Judy revealed a lot more than she intended to when she took to the stage to accept an award alongside husband Richard 21 years ago.
Poor Judy’s top opened as she went onstage, leaving her white bra on display to the audience at the Royal Albert Hall, and more than 12 million viewers at home.
Fans of the annual awards show were left gobsmacked when her black outfit fell open to reveal her busty lingerie as she stepped up on-stage.
Even worse, she and Richard seemingly had no idea what was going on.
Colleague John Leslie realised they were none the wiser, and he ran on stage to help preserve Judy’s modesty and cover her up.
Speaking about Anne-Marie’s fall, Richard joked: “At least she didn’t show her bra.”
Susanna added: “For all the younger viewers, can you explain?”
Richard went on to explain the moment Judy flashed her underwear to the nation.
He continued: “”Before we went to the awards, Judy said ‘I haven’t brought my matching bra. Oh well, no one is going to know’.
“We won the award and went on stage but the clasp on her top popped open”
Susanna asked her co-star: “Do you think Judy is going to mind you bringing this back up on national television?”

“She’s written about it loads of times. She’s over it now,” Richard replied, before adding: “John Leslie came running up and closed her dress up.”
Previously speaking about the gaffe, Judi said: “”I was wearing a halterneck evening dress and had a brand new matching black bra but it didn’t fit properly so I swapped it for a trusty old favourite, a lacy pale pink.
“‘Noone will ever know’ I said to Richard (Madeley, her husband) as we changed in our hotel room.
“They soon did of course.
“The black halterneck slid down to my waist, revealing my pink undies to the nation.”
