Richard and Judy Smoked Dope

[Detomah]

Squeaky-clean telly favourites Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan have admitted smoking marijuana. The couple revealed they had dabbled with weed — Judy more often than her hubby.

But Richard said: “I didn’t like it. And I’ve never tried any other drugs as I’ve got an addictive personality.

“I was seriously addicted to cigarettes for years so I always assumed that if I tried drugs, I’d be instantly hooked. I’d be a junkie.”

Judy, 60, added: “I smoked it a couple of times but it didn’t do anything for me.

“I’ve never tried any other drugs. I’ve never felt the need.”

Despite experimenting during their college days, the couple have worked hard to educate their kids about drugs.

Daughter Chloe Madeley, 20, has landed her first TV job on her parents’ latest chat show New Position — but the couple are confident she won’t be led astray by fame.

Richard, 52, said: “Both our kids are incredibly anti-drugs.

“They have friends that do them but they actively discourage it.”

Judy added: “If one of our kids’ friends says to them, ‘Let’s do drugs’ they’ll actually shout at them.

“One of their friends developed mental problems from smoking cannabis every day.

“They’ve seen the damage drugs do.”

But while they are concerned about drugs, Richard and Judy want the Government to urgently tackle knife crime — after daughter Chloe was the victim of a vicious mugging last year.

Richard said: “You’ve got to deter people, that’s the only way.

“Kids as young as 14 should be sent to jail if they’re carrying a knife to make them see how serious it is.”

Richard & Judy’s show New Position starts on digital channel Watch at 8pm on Tuesday.

What assholes they must be. Imagine shouting at your mates other than in jest. Their friends must be after their money because nobody would have real friends that were always shouting at them about how to live their lives.
Either that or Judy was just leathered on wine again and making up total rubbish while her hand was shaking like one of those rabbit dildos.

Oh bollocks wait a second, I've totally fallen for some shit that was in the S*n.
See that's why I don't like it, they present information in such a twisted way. OK Richard and Judy are twats of the highest order, but people can see that for themselves without some fat sweaty cokehead S*n journalist poisoning their image for them.

I believe that was totally taken at random from top news stories for this survey, it completely illustrates the whole point. The S*n is a microcosm of an asshole society.
1 star!

I gave this a 1 - cos tbh who cares.

98% of college kids try dope, wtf? why are these 2 so special?
just because they got jobs as tv presenters,
I smoked a lot of it up until like 1995, I can't even be be arsed with anything like that anymore
yet i see it all the time...

[Froogles]

Can't stand The Sun,who seriously cares what Richard and Judy do (especially in their past?),and...well,it's The Sun,so i'm obliged to hate it. And I do. Alot. This story just isn't interesting in the slightest. So,1 star it is!

[Mars]

yep this only deserves a 1, utter drivel.

This got my 5, although i agree with all the previous points.

The only thing is, credit crunch is balls, OJ's wasnt the most interesting story and this did make me laugh and think wtf...

Judy added: “If one of our kids’ friends says to them, ‘Let’s do drugs’ they’ll actually shout at them.

Firstly the shouting at friends thing, is a big wtf. Either the Sun is exageratting, or Judy is spouting shit, which is equally as likely, or they really have some bizarre private educated socially ******ed children.

The part of it that made me laugh was the "Let's do drugs" phrase. Its like something out of a school's anti-drug textbook. Like a bunch of young people sitting round watching tv and suddenly one stands up and declares "Lets do drugs! - ill get a drug dealer on the phone". Im going to try and take that phrase back, as its so stupid as to be funny.

Lets do drugs!

Anyway, i find this more interesting to read as its rather like a drug itself in that it detracts from the lesser points of reality.

Tbh Pura, I reckon a "Lets Do Drugs!" t-shirt could be pretty funny.
