Chloe Madeley has shared her daughter’s ‘dumb and dumber’ moment after she suffered a painful tongue injury. The reality TV star, 37, who welcomed her daughter Bodhi in August 2022 with James Haskell, took to her Instagram stories on Tuesday to explain how Bodhi lost ‘a bit of skin’ from her tongue.
Mum-of-one Chloe issued a warning to other mums and parents ahead of the summer months after her daughter got her tongue stuck in an ice-cream fridge.
Chloe told her followers that her toddler basically recreated the moment in the 1994 comedy classic Dumb and Dumber when Harry got his tongue stuck on a ski-lift pole after licking it. “Bodhi pulled a Dumb and Dumber and got her tongue stuck in/on an ice-cream fridge today.”
“She pulled away and ripped a very small amount of skin off, but oh my lord, the amount of blood was truly astonishing. Just writing this post as a hopeful reminder to all parents before ice-cream season hits.

“The mouth bleeds a LOT even when it’s a tiny surface wound. You need to apply pressure for up to ten minutes before assessing if the bleeding is slowing down/ whether you need to go to A&E.”
The star continued: “The reason I’m writing this is not because I know better but because I completely forgot ALL the above and instead just went into a sort of panic mode. Sorry to anyone at David Lloyd who witnessed this. I’d love to pretend this kind of thing rarely happens but that would be a lie and my child is insane.”
Chloe has been co-parenting Bodhi since her split with James, 40, in October 2023 after five years of marriage. The rugby union ace called time on his romance with the daughter of TV stars Richard and Judy shortly after they filmed ITV series Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair. James and Chloe.

Honest Chloe has spoken openly about the difficulty of their breakup, describing the last year of their marriage as “one of the worst periods of my life”. The star believed they were better off apart, but James recently expressed gratitude for the positive impact she had on him.
Both have moved on from their separation, with James being recently pictured with former Big Brother star Sara McLean at Cheltenham Festival.
Despite moving on with a new romance, James previously spoke about his appreciation for Chloe during an interview on the Spooning with Mark Wogan podcast.

At the time, he said: “Chloe is an amazing woman, extremely talented, she’s made me a much better person, being with her, now we’re separated. You separate essentially because you want to make sure your daughter has the best possible life.”
He continued to stress the importance of their daughter Bodhi’s well-being and their ability to work together as parents: “And I think when you have a child you have a responsibility and all of your other wishes go out of the window. The ability for us to co-parent and do stuff is so important, Chloe is more vocal because she wears her heart on her sleeve.”
