With rumours circulating that James Haskell has linked up with ITV show bosses and is in “advanced talks” for this year’s Celebrity Big Brother line-up, his estranged wife Chloe Madeley is said to be “worried” about the secrets he could spill on-screen.
A few weeks ago it was reported that 38-year-old former rugby player James would be making his way into the CBB house and, given his track record, claimed a source, it’s unlikely he will hold back when it comes to speaking his mind.
Now, as the hit reality show is set to hit screens next month, 36-year-old Chloe – who has an 18-month-old daughter, Bodhi, with James – is concerned about what exactly her ex will talk about.
“Chloe knows what he’s like and how loose-lipped he can be, and for that reason she is very worried,” a source told new. “She’s urged him to think before he speaks, especially when it comes to their relationship. Chloe hopes James will follow her advice and keep some things to himself.”
After a five-year hiatus, the hit reality show is set to make a comeback on ITV, and it’s thought producers had James at the top of their list because of how he openly speaks his mind.
“He is a very strong character and is likely to ruffle a few feathers,” our source claimed. “But he could also use the show as an opportunity to win back some favour – with both Chloe and her parents [Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan], and also with the public.”
His rumoured appearance on CBB, however, wouldn’t be the first time James has shared a telling insight about his break-up from Chloe.
In fact, last December James targeted paparazzi on a night out and reportedly addressed the breakdown of his relationship by telling them, “You ended my marriage.”
Then, in recent months, the DJ spoke about his “broken” relationship again on the live version of his podcast World Cup Afterparty: The Good, The Bad And The Rugby– and what he really thought of Chloe.
Joined by co-hosts Mike Tindall and Alex Payne on stage, according to the Mail Online, James mentioned his friend Mike – who is married to Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara – and jokingly said he is someone who, “won’t be reasoned with and will not be argued with”.
