Richard and Judy have admitted spicing up their sex life with Viagra pills leftover from a This Morning feature.

The couple, who have been together more than 20 years, both took the tablets after they'd presented a piece about the drug on their former ITV show. And in a statement that is likely to cause most right-minded people to feel queasy, Richard Madeley, 50, explained what happened. 'It's not in anyway an aphrodisiac,' he told The Times magazine. 'However it is functional in the sense it makes everything last much longer and return, y'know, swiftly and hang around all day, kind of thing.' And just in case anyone was under the impression that he needed a little help in that department, Richard added: 'I want to make it quite clear that I don't need Viagra. It was an experiment.'

Luckily for him his wife Judy Finnigan, 58, was happy to back him up.
