Now his daughter Chloe, 38, has revealed her dad’s love of going commando has led to many awkward encounters at their family home.
Appearing on Romesh Ranganathan Parents Evening, the father and daughter duo spoke about the run-ins.
Romesh asked Richard: ‘Do you hang loose?’
Richard quickly replied: ‘Yeah. It’s just… I don’t know why, in my early 30s, I just suddenly found that boxes, and budgy smugglers, and all of that, they just chafe.

‘Right? So I got rid of them. And I’ve never looked back.’
Attention then turned to Chloe, who shares Bodhi with ex James Haskell, as Romesh asked: ‘Was that news to you that your dad doesn’t wear underwear?’
Red-faced Chloe said: ‘No, no, no. We had many, um, incidents with… You know.
‘When I would walk into the kitchen late at night, and then immediately just walking straight back out again.’
Richard first met his wife Judy Finnigan in 1982 when they worked on separate programmes for Granada TV.
The couple tied the knot in 1986 and now have two children together, Jack and TV personality and personal trainer Chloe.
Richard recently shared how he made the decision to move in with Judy and become a stepdad.
Opening up to Matt Willis on a coming episode of the Busted star’s On the Mend podcast, Richard said: ‘Judy and I worked together for years before we even talked about the prospect of getting together.

‘One of Judy’s main concerns was obviously her kids. They, you know, came first front and foremost in any move that she might make.
‘I remember her saying to me when it became clear that we were falling for each other and we were tentatively beginning to talk about maybe having a life together, “you’ve got to understand I come in a three pack – it’s me and Tom and Dan”.
‘And I took that very seriously. And this is before This Morning [which they presented together] started.
‘We’d been working and sharing our days together at the office for three years by then, and we were on the point of deciding to live together. We were both divorced.
‘But Judy was really concerned that I knew what I was doing as far as being a stepdad was concerned because the boys were going to live with her.
‘So I went off on my own. I went off to Greece for two weeks on a kind of a solo holiday to think about it because I didn’t want to rush.

‘I didn’t want to say with super confidence “Oh yeah, it’ll be fine, I’m happy to be a stepfather”.
‘I needed to know that I could deliver and that I meant it, that I really meant it.
‘So I went away for two weeks and just thought – basically sat on a beach for two weeks and just thought quite deeply about the future and about how I felt about it. And I felt very comfortable with it.
‘And I went back and told her that. I mean, the boys were adorable. They were only seven at that stage, and they were absolutely adorable.’
