Chloe Madeley speaks on her parents Richard and Judy

“I felt very isolated, very alone. [I was] quite depressed and quite freaked out. I also don’t think it helped at the time that James and I were still living in the Midlands and I was away from all my friends and family,” Chloe told the Midwife Pip podcast.

She added: “Whereas now if I have a bad day…I just get in the car and go to my parents.”

Chloe continued: “Just being in my family home with my mum and dad, who are also obsessed with Bodhi, I just catch my breath again and come back down to earth. I kind of reconnect with everything I love about my life.”

Chloe Madeley’s birth

Last year, the personal trainer welcomed her daughter via an emergency C-section.

Taking to Instagram at the time, Chloe wrote: “Born 10.08.22 at 8:36am. A love that escapes all words, and the best thing that has ever happened to me.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart @jameshaskell for going on this adventure with me. I’ve never been happier. I love you.”

Opening up about her C-section, Chloe said: “Don’t think that because you expect your body to do something, it will, and don’t think you should attach any kind of emotion to that whatsoever.

“I could never have predicted that I’d end up getting an emergency c-section, or why, and I could never have predicted that breastfeeding would come so naturally to both my body and my baby.”
