James Haskell wore mother-in-law Judy Finnigan's dress on wild boat party with stripper

James Haskell has opened up about the wild party he attended in his mother-in-law's clothes.

The I'm A Celebrity star, 35, went on a boozy river cruise down the Thames with a bunch of his pals and a stripper on-board, which he attended while wearing Judy Finnigan's dress.

He is married to Chloe Madeley, who is the daughter of Judy and her husband Richard Madeley, aka presenting legends Richard and Judy.

In his new book What A Flanker, former rugby union player James writes that the stripper had her boobs out on the boat in front of families who were innocently enjoying the boat ride on the upper deck.

He writes: "It was a steaming hot, early summer's day and people were starting to recognise me, despite — or, more likely, because of — the fact I looked like that bearded Austrian woman who won Eurovision.

"The dress I was wearing actually belonged to my now wife's mum."

James continues: "Disgusted mums are clasping hands over children's eyes.

"I'm shouting, 'Lads! You've not thought this through! Get her below deck!"

He goes on: "And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by. When I say 'she', I mean me.

"Because I'm standing on a boat in a wig and a dress, a woman for the day.

"It was a steaming hot early summer's day, the towpath was rammed and people were starting to recognise us."

James is known for playing for Wasps RFC and Northampton Saints.

He married Chloe in 2018 after four years of dating and appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2019.
