Richard Madeley says pregnant daughter Chloe is 'ready to pop any second now'

Excited Richard Madeley says daughter Chloe could give birth at any moment.

The 34-year-old announced she and husband James Haskell were expecting their first child with a sweet announcement in February.

Since then, Chloe hasn’t held back when it comes to documenting her pregnancy journey - and explained their path to parenthood wasn’t straightforward as the pair struggled to conceive a child for over two years.

Dad Richard said on Good Morning Britain that the little one is due into world "any second now" - and he clearly can't wait.

Chatting to Daily Mirror associate editor Kevin Maguire, the guest was thrilled to announce that he had just become a grandfather for the second time.

Richard then said he is about to welcome a new family member very, very soon.

He said: "My daughter Chloe is ready to pop.

"She is ready to pop any second now. She is really well and everything is going well."

Kevin joked: "This is my second - you love them, you adore them - but you know you can hand them back!"

Chloe first realised she wanted to start a family with James when the former rugby player was in the Australian jungle, taking part in the 2019 series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

In March, she opened up about the finally falling pregnant to OK! Magazine and the challenges the couple face.

During the honest chat, Chloe spoke about her fertility struggles, and said it was 'really complicated'.

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

"We picked up the pace in terms of trying and that nervousness turned into utter fear. Like, ‘Hang on, I don’t want this option taken away from me,’” she explained.

“I woke up in the middle of the night and it hit me like a ton of bricks. And that pushed me into making a decision and that I absolutely wanted to have a family,” Chloe added.

The expectant mum revealed the pair visited a fertility clinic, and Chloe was given the all-clear by doctors.

However, she began to become worried when she still wasn’t pregnant after months of trying.

“I was getting to grips with the fact it might have to happen like that for me,” Chloe shared as she said her and James were looking at IVF as an option, or adoption.
