Chloe Madeley gives birth to first child with husband James Haskell

Chloe Madeley has welcomed her first child with husband James Haskell.

The TV personality, 35, gave birth to a baby girl and said she and her I'm A Celebrity star husband James, 37, are 'besotted and beaming with pride' with the new arrival.

The pair, who announced they were expecting back in February, told OK!: “We are delighted to welcome to the world our daughter. We are utterly besotted and beaming with pride”

They also shared a sweet snap of the newborn's hand with the publication.

Chloe welcomed their baby daughter into the world earlier this week.

It comes after Chloe's dad Richard Madeley said on Good Morning Britain that his daughter was 'ready to pop'.

Chloe's parents TV presenters Richard, 65, and Judy Finnigan, 65, are already doting grandparents to their son Jack's little boy Kit, born in 2018 and are over the moon by the little one's arrival.

The telly duo also have two other grandchildren, on Judy's son's side of the family, who are Ivy, seven and Edith, three.

The Dancing On Ice star, and her former England Rugby Union player James appeared relaxed ahead of the birth, but she explained that her body had struggled to adjust in the early months to her pregnancy.

She revealed in an Instagram post that she found herself fainting on public transport and admitting she now finds it 'intensely overwhelming' to be left alone.

Alongside a mirror snap, Chloe wrote: "Things I've learned in my third trimester... these experiences are my own, every single woman, body and pregnancy is entirely different.

"Walking is actually more uncomfortable than lifting weights."

The fitness fan said that despite what people might think, she has loved the changes to her body during pregnancy.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Chloe revealed the couple were on the verge of considering IVF and adoption before unexpectedly falling pregnant at the end of last year.

She said they hadn’t been using contraception 'for months', and began to get worried early last year when she still wasn’t pregnant.

The personal trainer told the title: “I was getting to grips with the fact it might have to happen like that for me."

But after initially struggling to conceive, she was over the moon to announce her pregnancy two days after her dad Richard made a shock departure from I'm a Celebrity....Get Me Out Of Here.
