Former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! contestant James Haskell, 37, admitted he and his wife Chloe Madeley, 35, would have to be “very careful” when naming their daughter. Chloe, who herself is the daughter of ITV legends Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, gave birth to her first child back in August.
James appeared on investigative journalist John Sweeney’s brand new LBC podcast, Sweeney Talks, where he discussed naming their baby girl.
The sports star confessed: “I didn’t cry on my wedding day, which my wife still gives me sh*t for, still tells you that I should have f**king cried…
“I burst into tears when my daughter was born. And… It makes me weirdly emotional now…
“Bodhi Georgia Ray Haskell…” he said, referring to the name they gave their daughter.

“Do you know what it is… It’s my wife, so she likes boys names for girls, right?
“Always has done and we’re gonna call it like Dylan or George or whatever the other names were we went through.
“And she came out with Bodhi and one of her friends thought of it and actually the only Bodhi I know is from Point Break.
“Patrick Swayze’s character is Bodhi… So I said, ‘Well, I quite like that, it’s quite a cool name.’
“She came up with Bodhi and she loved it. Actually, when she was born, I looked at her and I was like, ‘You know what, I love it.’”
Speaking about how being a father has changed him, James admitted he “couldn’t relate” to the kind of love parents described before he had a child of his own.
Once his daughter arrived, however, James shared how he felt that “soul grabbing love” instantly.
Chloe welcomed her baby girl with husband James on August 10, sharing the happy news to Instagram four days later.
The couple, who married back in 2018, confirmed the arrival of their daughter by posting a black and white photo of her hand.
At the time, Chloe wrote: “We are delighted to welcome to the world our daughter. We are utterly besotted and beaming with pride.
“Our daughter, Bodhi Rae Georgia Haskell,” she wrote. “Born 10.08.22 at 8:36am.”
