RICHARD Madeley showed his soft side yesterday as he doted on baby grandson Bodhi during a fancy Boxing Day lunch.
The Good Morning Britain host, 66, put on a smart suit and accompanied wife Judy Finnigan for the meet-up with their daughter Chloe and husband James Haskell.

Standing in front of a huge Christmas tree, beaming retired rugby ace James put an arm around TV star Judy.
While Chloe, dressed in a stylish black and gold dress, held baby Bodhi beside dad Richard.
Once they were seated, Richard held his grandson on his lap and pulled fun faces as Bodhi reached out towards him.
Fitness guru Chloe‘s fans loved the glimpse into family life with one commenting on Instagram: “Lovely memories for you all
.”
Another said: “Aw. I love how grandparents behave to their grandkids. You can always tell they’ve missed babies!!
.”
A third posted: “So lovely to see R and J. J is looking fabulous. Merry Christmas xx.”
Just days before Christmas GMB star Richard was hit with 80 Ofcom complaints.
The 66-year-old came under fire for his combative interview with RMT union boss Mick Lynch last week.
He appeared incensed with the General Secretary of RMT over widespread rail strikes.
He asked Mick: “Whatever happened to Christmas kindness?
“Why do you have to target people at Christmas?
Mick responded: “Well we’re not targeting Christmas, it isn’t Christmas yet Richard. I don’t know when your Christmas starts but mine starts on Christmas Eve.”
As Richard tried to interject, Mick continued: “If you let me finish the question…if you let me finish the answer.
“Richard, you’re just talking to yourself at the minute, you’re ranting. Richard, you’re ranting.”
Fans at home were glued to the heated exchange, with many complaining Richard didn’t give Mick a chance to talk.
It came as rail strikes caused commuter and holiday chaos for people across the UK when members of the RMT union abandoned the railways throughout the month.
The series of walkouts ran on December 14, December 16 and December 17 – before starting again on December 24.
