JAMES Haskell has revealed wife Chloe Madeley is pregnant with their first child.
The retired rugby star, 36, announced his happy news live on Good Morning Britain today during an interview with his father-in-law Richard Madeley.
Delighted host Richard then shared a picture of Chloe’s 12 week baby scan.
Paying tribute to Richard, 65, James said he was the best grandad in the world to his first grandson Kit, three.
Chloe, 34, waited for the telly announcement before sharing her joy on Instagram.
She held up a tiny sleepsuit beside her beaming mum Judy Finnigan, 73, who held copies of the 12-week scan.
Fans flooded her with well wishes over the “gorgeous” news.
The baby news comes just months after James said he approaches sex like a competitive sport.
He told us: “I end up taking everything very seriously. But I mean you want to be good at sex don’t you? I’m not sure I’m very good at it, but I’m having a good go at trying to be better.
“There’s a lot of people out there having a lot of bad sex. I want to improve on it.”
Former Wasps star James, who wed Richard and Judy’s personal trainer daughter in 2018, wrote in new book Ruck Me: “If you’re lucky enough to see some progress in your performance and get some good reviews, why would you not carry on improving?”
He continued: “We have a very open relationship but we are very different as people. My wife is incredibly emotional, incredibly compassionate. She thinks about things a lot, whereas I’m very much in the moment.”
While he may come across as a burly man-mountain with controversial opinions, when it comes to Chloe he’s a big softie.
“Chloe is amazing to me,” he said. “I’m a much, much, much better person for being with her. She protects me from myself.
“She understands things and sees stuff in a different way and I think that’s important because of all of our own personal experiences with the media and having the family that she has.
“Chloe’s brilliant and intelligent, much more than I am.”
