GMB's Richard Madeley lifts lid on daughter Chloe's due date and pregnant France getaway

Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley opened up about his daughter Chloe's pregnancy during an appearance on Loose Women.

The 66-year-old has two children with wife Judy Finnigan and told the Loose Women his heavily pregnant daughter is in France at the moment and coming up to 34 weeks into her pregnancy.

He said: “She was due on the 5th of August and they've moved it forward to the 7th of August.”

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

Richard told the Loose Women how he's looking forward to his daughter welcoming a little one into the world “because she's having a little girl”.

He added: "There's something about your daughter having a little girl, it shouldn't make a difference, but it kind of does."

The doting grandfather went on to say he loved being a grandparent, and that having children was "like a house" and having grandchildren is "like getting an extension on it".

He added: "It's somewhere new to go and you can always give them back."

Chloe hasn’t held back when it comes to documenting her pregnancy journey.

The TV personality took to Instagram earlier this month to show off her blossoming baby bump as she posed in a mirror.

“You look amazing,” one wrote. “Looking fabulous. Not hefty at all,” another added.

“Feelin hefty,” she joked in the caption, and her fans were quick to dish out the compliments to the mum-to-be.

“Awesome Chloe, looking really well! Hope your excited and feeling great babe,” one fan wrote.

Another agreed: “Looking blooming marvellous,” while one wrote: “Nothing more beautiful than a woman growing a new person!!!”

The star has candidly documented her difficult journey to motherhood, revealing that she and husband James were on the verge of going through IVF before unexpectedly falling pregnant at the end of last year.

Chloe, who is expecting a baby girl, said last month that pregnancy was “f***ing hard”, and said she’s been suffering with vomiting and headaches.

“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,” she told The Sun.

“Every day isn't always pleasant but I love it,” Chloe added.

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV
