Chloe Madeley has almost as much star power as her television icon parents, Richard and Judy – but what about her publicity shy siblings?
Iconic television duo Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan have been a staple to British TV screens for years, first presenting This Morning and then the adored chat show Richard & Judy.
They met in 1982 when Richard, 65, joined Granada to present alongside Tony Wilson and Judy, 73.
At the time, both of them were married – Judy to David Henshaw and Richard to his first wife Lynda.
After divorcing their previous partners, the couple married in 1986 in Manchester.
The couple are devoted parents to their two children, Chloe and Jack Madeley. Judy also shares twins Tom and Ben with her first husband David.
Richard and Judy are one of the most recognisable couples to grace our TV screens, but who are the couple’s children?

Chloe Madeley, 34, was born in Manchester, before going to school in northwest London.
The youngest sibling was entirely unplanned, being conceived only “months” after her brother, Jack, was born.
Speaking on The Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast with Giovanna Fletcher, Richard revealed: “I look at Chloe as if she was a sort of accident and she was conceived only a few months… when Jack was only a few months old.”
When Jack was six months old, the pair tied the knot at a Manchester registry office, completely unaware Judy was already pregnant with Chloe.
Chloe has enjoyed a varied career so far, with roles including TV presenter, freelance journalist and model.

She has also appeared on reality shows such as Celebrity Quitters, Dancing On Ice and The Jump.
In 2013, she founded FitnessFondue.com, a website dedicated to fitness advice, tips and success stories.
Chloe’s partner is also a familiar face to many, as she is married to former England rugby player James Haskell, 37. The pair wed back in 2018.
They first met in 2014 after James asked her to be the face of a female fitness supplement line and they started to date shortly after.
The 34-year-old revealed they are expecting their first child in an Instagram post in February, while James broke the news live on ITV GMB earlier this year.

The fitness star has spoken out about suffering from “meltdowns, vomiting and headaches” while pregnant.
Speaking to the Sun, the star said: “I love that I’m pregnant. I really love the bump, I love the curves, I’m really into it.
“It’s magical and I love it, but it’s f***ing hard on your body. I’ve had more than one melt down where I’ve just sat there like hysterically cried because it’s a lot of hormones, a lot of emotion. Every day isn’t always pleasant but I love it.”
Taking to Instagram recently, the media personality displayed her growing baby bump while marking the sixth month of her pregnancy.
In the photo, Chloe donned a white crop top and matching underwear while raising her arms to show off her incredible bump, with the caption “13 weeks to go.”

Chloe added that the pair have plans for more children in the future and in an ideal world, she would like to have “three or four”.
It comes after Chloe announced that she and husband James have brought their first home together since getting married.
She announced to fans in a social media post last month that the couple were moving back home to London.
She revealed: “We have our first marital home! Six years after moving to the midlands for the Wasps relocation, James’ subsequent Saints ‘finisher’ and a few lockdowns later I’m finally going home to my city, my friends and my family.
“Six years. I genuinely can’t put into words this feeling. Finally going home.”

Alongside daughter Chloe, Richard and Judy also share son Jack together.
The 36-year-old is a talent manager at James Grant Media, meaning he is responsible for overseeing TV personalities.
Jack generally stays out of the limelight in contrast to sibling Chloe, however Richard did revealed his son married partner Issy in June 2021.
I’m A Celebrity star Richard told viewers of the ITV breakfast show that the stress leading up to the big day left the groom, bride and everyone else involved with a “touch of post-traumatic dress disorder”.
The couple tied the knot in a stunning ceremony held outdoors due to Covid-19 regulations.
The pair share a child together, son Kit, who was born back in 2018.

While Chloe and Jack are Richard’s only biological children, he is also step-father to two step-sons.
When he and Judy met, she already had twins Dan and Tom in 1977 with former husband David Henshaw, therefore Richard became their step-dad following the couple’s marriage.
Not much is known about the twin brothers, as they generally remain out of the limelight.

Interviews with Richard and Judy suggest the twins are around age 45 now, and they are both married.
Opening up about becoming a step-father, Richard said previously: “If I wanted Judy, it would be a package deal – and I had to be absolutely certain I could handle that.
“Was I really up to the job of a stepfather? We both had our doubts.”
