‘She was doing a podcast, and I didn’t know, and I walked in, and she said, “Dad, I’m just doing something here”, and I didn’t know we were live. I said, “Oh, is it your hormones?”.’
For the pregnancy announcement, Chloe showed off her growing bump in a series of selfies as she posed in grey underwear and a T-shirt at 11 weeks, before changing into a white flowery body suit for a snap taken at 14 weeks.
She captioned the images: ‘Little one’, and was quickly flooded with well-wishes and congratulations from her followers.
Meanwhile, James shared their exciting news on GMB.

He then turned to Richard, who is his father-in-law, and said, ‘You are going to be a grandad once again.’
An image of the three-month scan then popped up on the screen and Richard added: ‘That’s the little girl. Looks like she’s reading the paper!’
‘Let’s hope she has her mother’s looks because if she looks anything like me, we’re in a spot of bother.’
James and Chloe got married over the Christmas period in 2018.
They met in 2014 when James invited her to be the face of a female fitness supplement line and started dating shortly after.
