Richard Madeley, the 68-year-old presenter of Good Morning Britain, was recently booed by an ITV audience after making a comment about his daughter, Chloe. He joined Chloe, who is 37 years old, for an episode of Romesh Ranganathan's Parents' Evening. They were joined by other celebrity parents and their children, including Jonathan Ross and his daughter Honey, as well as Spice Girl Mel B and her daughter Phoenix.
During the show, the group was challenged on their knowledge of boybands. Chloe impressed everyone by revealing she could name ten out of eleven boybands. However, Richard did not believe her and left it to Jonathan and Honey to answer the question. After their team scored seven points, Romesh, the host, called out Richard for underestimating his daughter and asked if she could have scored more points. Chloe confidently replied that she could have named ten out of eleven boybands, leaving Richard feeling embarrassed for not believing her.
This was not the only incident involving Richard and Chloe in the show. They were also asked to make up for their missed opportunity by answering a question about boybands. Richard asked Chloe if there was anything he could do to make up for it, to which she jokingly replied, "McDonalds." Richard then made a comment about how he loves his daughter because she is "cheap," which caused a reaction from the audience and even shocked Mel B and Phoenix. Jonathan took this opportunity to tease Richard about his previous statement of not wearing underpants.
Richard then explained that he stopped wearing underpants in his early 30s because they were uncomfortable. This was not news to Chloe, who revealed that she and her sister have seen their dad accidentally walk into the kitchen late at night without any pants on. Chloe, who is a former Dancing on Ice star, has previously spoken about the challenges of growing up with famous parents, Richard and Judy Finnigan. She faced online abuse and was accused of nepotism because of her parents' success in daytime TV.
During her time on Dancing on Ice, Chloe struggled with anxiety and trolls on social media, which led her to self-medicate with alcohol. However, her father found her one morning and urged her to seek help. Chloe was eventually diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder and received therapy to help her cope with the pressure of being in the public eye. She now has a different perspective on the negative comments she receives, and she is proud of her own success and does not let others' opinions affect her.
