Overview
- James Haskell said his turn on E4’s Celebs Go Dating reconfirmed what he wants from life and made him appreciate ex-wife Chloe Madeley and their daughter, Bodhi.
- He said he asked Madeley’s permission before signing up for the series and credited her with encouraging him to take part.
- During the episode, Haskell’s mother, Susie, said the marriage ‘went wrong’ because “you can’t have two stars,” a comment that added a sharper edge to the on-screen family talk.
- Hours after the broadcast, Madeley posted a pointed Instagram story about ‘c**p droppers’ without naming anyone, keeping the discussion squarely in the public eye.
- The ex-couple announced their separation in 2023, Madeley has called the final year of the marriage ‘awful,’ and Haskell has acknowledged his drinking played a role as they continue to co-parent.
