This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, the beloved duo of TV presenters known as Richard and Judy, are set to return to TV screens in May with a new five-part series.

The former This Morning presenters will host Richard & Judy: Keep Reading and Carry On, which will broadcast on Channel 4.

Filmed from their own homes while under lockdown, the series will see Madeley and Finnigan interview authors and celebrities, discussing their favourite recent books and new releases.

Madeley said: “It is no secret that Judy and I are avid readers and we are excited to return to Channel 4 to share what we love with viewers."

“Books can transport you to incredible places from the comfort of your sofa and so there is no better time to share our top picks for lockdown reads and hear from viewers, celebrities and authors about the books that have helped them whilst staying at home," added Finnigan.

The pair hosted This Morning from 1988 to 2001, after which they presented the daily chat show Richard & Judy until 2009.

Richard & Judy: Keep Reading and Carry On will begin at 5.30pm on Monday, 4 May and will air over the course of a week.
