Chloe Madeley reveals how dad Richard helped save her after anxiety took over her life
‘He feels comfortable dealing with depression’: Chloe Madeley reveals how father Richard helped save her after fear took over her life… and why she ‘NEVER found him embarrassing’
Chloe Madeley has described the moment when her father Richard “plucked me off the floor” and helped her seek help for her debilitating anxiety.
The health and fitness coach, 35, revealed in a joint interview with her TV presenter father, 66, that they are “best friends” and that he was the one who “put me on the road to recovery” after she was diagnosed with generalized anxiety was posed disorder in early twenties.
“I went from having anxiety attacks to being physically sick about it day and night. I had a bad breakup and I was doing Dancing on Ice, which was stressful,” Chloe told the Sunday Times.
“Drinking three or four times a week was the only form of calories I could keep down. When I couldn’t sleep anymore, it was my dad who signed me up for a psychotherapist and put me on the road to recovery.”

Chloe explained that her father feels comfortable dealing with depression after her mother Judy was diagnosed with severe postpartum depression after Chloe was born.
“He came in one morning, picked me up off the floor and said, ‘Don’t worry, we just need to take you to someone who can help.'”
Chloe gushed about her close relationship with Richard in the interview, noting their similar sense of confidence and insisting, despite his notorious TV gaffes, that “I’ve never found him embarrassing.”
Last week, Ranvir Singh was left speechless after Richard told a deeply disgusting story on an episode of Good Morning Britain.
The news anchor, 45, covered her mouth when her co-star, 66, read out a viewer’s message about the recent controversy surrounding disrespectful audiences in theaters.
He apologized to the audience who might have had a mouthful of breakfast, reading, “We were in the theater and the woman behind us was drinking champagne like water with a boisterous man lugging pint after pint.”
“Just before recess — I’m sorry if you clogged your ears during breakfast.
“The lady got sick of the person next to us and then the man joined them by puking right into my lap.”

He then joked, “Everyone had a great night out.”
A shocked Ranvir replied, ‘In the theatre! It used to be so elitist. It’s something very… it should be natural for everyone, I’m not saying it has to be elitist.”
Richard agreed, “I suppose it’s almost Shakespearean. There were riots with Shakespeare during his plays in the 16th century.’
But Ranvir warned, “We don’t want that, do we?”
