New mum Chloe Madeley 'devastated' as she's forced to move in with parents Richard and Judy

Chloe Madeley has told how her and husband James Haskell moved in with her TV star parents Richard and Judy after leaving hospital with their first child.

The 35-year-old, gave birth to daughter Bodhi in August but was faced with a unenviable living situation of being unable to bring their daughter home due to ongoing renovations.

But telly faves Richard and Judy stepped up — with plenty of room to spare — and welcomed them to live with them until work was complete.

And rather than feel daunted about her post partum recovery at her parents pad, she says their relationship has already changed.

She told The Sun: "I was quietly devastated and dreading it. I thought we were all going to be so frazzled."

However, Chloe’s preconceptions about the temporary living situation proved a positive one and she says her bond with her family is now better than ever.

She added: "There's just been the loveliest family camaraderie between us.

"My mum and I have never been this close."

And proud grandparents Richard and Judy, who were in the industry for 43 years, appearing on Loose Women, Channel 4 and This Morning, were thrilled to share that time with the new family.

Chloe, James, and Bodhi are now back in their own newly-renovated home, and have given fans a insight into the upgraded interior.

On the Instagram page Home Haskell, they shared their new bathroom which has seen old-fashioned, yellowing tiles ripped out and replaced with a white marble finish, complete with golden taps and accessories.

The dated kitchen decor has been entirely redone, giving Chloe the “open, clean, white kitchen space" she’s always wanted.

First-time mum Chloe, who previously shared she was anxious about whether she wanted to be a mum, has since embraced her role and is enjoying 'juggling' every thing that comes with it.

And her post struck a cord with her mum followers as many shared their own stories back at her which carried on the conversation.

She also shared countless photos of Bodhi as well as her journey to getting back her fitness and strength post-partum.
