Chloe Madeley - 'I'VE NEVER HAD A HAND-OUT FROM MY PARENTS'

She's best known as Richard and Judy's daughter and has been in the limelight since birth. But away from her parents, Chloe Madeley has carved out a name for herself - and it S hasn't come easily.

'People don't realise that I work many different jobs, she says. 'I graft my a** off to make an income.' Chloe has revealed she went back to work just eight weeks after giving birth to her daughter Bodhi, who she shares with former rugby union player James Haskell, because she needed the money'. And one thing she wants people to know is that she doesn't rely on her parents financially.

'Seriously, the only comments that really annoy me are when people accuse me of living off my parents,' Chloe explains. I have never received a hand-out from my parents. Never!'

Yet, despite what some may assume, the personal trainer and fitness influencer, whose new reality show, Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair will air on ITVBe in October, insists that she WE'RE doesn't mind being known as the famous couple's DING' daughter. 'I think the older generations will always just see me as Richard and Judy's daughter, and I'm fine with that because I am mega proud of my parents,' she says.

TOUGH TIMES

Right at the heart of Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair will be Chloe and James' relationship, and the challenges that they've faced navigating parenthood for the first time. Things haven't been plain sailing for the couple, who married in 2018 before welcoming Bodhi, one, last August.
