In 2023, the former rugby union star and Chloe Madeley confirmed that they were separating, and now James has shared a hilarious anecdote about a "kinky" discovery12:43, 01 Jul 2026James Haskell has shared a hilarious anecdote about being left stunned by a "kinky" discovery during a visit to Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan's home. In 2023, the former rugby union star and personal trainer Chloe Madeley, with whom he shares a daughter, Bodhi, confirmed that they were separating, five years after marrying in 2018.‌In the early days of their relationship, it appears James didn't realise Chloe’s parents were famous. That changed when she took him back to her family home, where he made a surprising discovery.‌Speaking on the No Parental Guidance podcast, James said Richard and Judy were "always really nice" to him. But he admitted he got a shock when he woke up in the night and spotted a photo of Richard hanging on the wall.‌He said: "I love Richard and Judy. They're great. Like, they were always really nice to me. You know, I didn't know Chloe was their daughter until I went on a date with her."And it's the first night that we spent together and she took me back to her parents' house, but they weren't in, and I didn't really ask."‌He continued: "And I remember I woke up in the night to go for a p***, and there was a picture of Richard on the wall. I thought, 'Chloe's into a bit of kinky s**t'. I was like, 'I don't look anything like that guy'."James added: "He's like tall, dark and handsome. I was like, 'This ain't going to last, is it?' Got back in bed and I was like, 'Why have you got a picture of Richard Madeley on the wall?' She went, 'It's my dad'. And I was like, 'Okay, fancy another s**g?'"Long-time TV duo Richard and Judy tied the knot in 1986 and fronted ITV’s This Morning from 1988 to 2001. They later teamed up again for their chat show Richard and Judy.‌Since then, Richard has become a regular on ITV’s Good Morning Britain and has recently presented Richard Madeley: Inside the World's Mega Prison, while Judy has stepped back from TV to focus on other projects.The couple previously shared details about their dynamic at home.Article continues belowSpeaking on Kate Thornton's White Wine Question Time podcast, Judy said: "I think working together for so long has bonded us more tightly than if we had two completely separate jobs."When (Richard) does GMB, I'm still here in bed, I'm happy to stay when he gets up, it doesn't make any difference at all to our relationship."Richard said: "We were bonded in our professional lives together, and now we're not, but actually, here on the inside, we still are. I suppose we're a bit semi-detached, but we're not detached in the way that it might seem to outsiders."
