CHLOE AND JAMES CELEBRATE BODHI'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

AS RELATIVES GATHER TO MARK THEIR DAUGHTER TURNING ONE, CHLOE MADELEY AND JAMES HASKELL CHAT ABOUT HOW THEY'VE ADAPTED TO LIFE AS A FAMILY OF THREE

- GEORGIA TREVITT

It's been a year since Chloe Madeley and James Haskell's daughter Bodhi was born - and they can't quite believe how quickly the time has galloped by.

"It's scary, but we've both enjoyed the entire experience right from the start," says James.

Chloe agrees, adding, "It feels like yesterday she was a newborn but, at the same time, I don't remember it and it's like another lifetime ago. It gives you a really strange concept of time."

To celebrate Bodhi's first birthday, the couple threw an underwater-themed party at their home with family and friends and they invited OK! along for the occasion. Chloe, 36, planned every detail of the lavish bash, while James, 38, was on barbecue duty. Chloe's presenter parents Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan were on hand, too, with Richard carving the beef and serving the food.

Due to the unpredictable British weather, guests were forced to dash inside on multiple occasions, but that just added to the fun.

"I really enjoyed organising it," Chloe tells us. "We had loads of balloons - at least 300 - with decorated archways. And there was a candy cart for the other kids that came."

James, who at one point in mock dismay points out that the kids went "completely mad" running around the house fuelled by a sugar rush, is full of praise for his wife. "Chloe did an amazing job. We invited my parents, Chloe's parents, Chloe's brother and some of our best friends and their children. It's not often we can all get together, so it was really nice."

For the adults, the drinks were flowing throughout the day and the couple set up their guest room for friends to stay over. Chloe also attempted a cake smash - something that didn't go down very well with birthday girl Bodhi. While she had a huge smile on her face when the guests sang Happy Birthday, she wasn't so keen about getting her hands dirty.
