Richard and JudyRichard and JudySofa wars have truly come to Channel 4.

First Des Lynam had a pop at Richard and Judy - then Paul O'Grady decided to kick off too.

On Countdown, Des decided to let the audience in on a little secret - R&J, he reckoned, barely talk.

"Lovely couple, wonderful programme," he said. "But they hate each other."

Talking about a Radio Times cover he and co-host Carol Vorderman did with the other Channel 4 daytime stars, Richard, Judy, Paul and Noel Edmonds, he added:

"In the hour we were with them, they never said a word."

Richard, who has been married to Judy for 20 years, has already laughed Des' comments off as a joke.

Des LynamDes LynamHe said the tale was "bull****" and added: "Des is winding the audience up. We see him at dos and we like him and he likes us."

Glad we cleared that one up.

Over to Mr O'Grady, who's decided to sound off about X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne becoming a chat show hostess for ITV1.

Paul, who defected from ITV to Channel 4 earlier this year, has already had numerous pops at his old channel.

Now he's decided to take on the feisty Mrs O too.

"Sharon is a toughie and very honest," he said. "So the best of luck to her.

"But I don't care that ITV have got Sharon. 'Bring it on,' is what I say."

If Sharon can deal with Simon Cowell, we reckon she can probably cope, Paul?
