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
