Chloe Madeley poses with mum Judy Finnigan, 77, in rare snap as former This Morning host shows off two stone weight loss following health scare

Chloe Madeley shared a heartwarming photo on Instagram Sunday, featuring a rare glimpse of her mother, Judy Finnigan, and her daughter, Bodhi. Chloe appeared happy and relaxed in the picture.

Fitness personality Chloe, 38, shared a sweet moment with her three-year-old daughter, Bodhi, giving her a kiss on the cheek while posing for a photo during a restaurant lunch with the former ITV host.

Judi, age 77, recently showed off her weight loss and looked beautiful in a white blazer worn over a black top.

Chloe looked relaxed in a long-sleeved black shirt, and was later seen lifting her daughter onto her father, Richard Madeley’s, shoulders.

Chloe and her ex-husband, James Haskell, share their son, Bodhi. They separated in 2023 after being married for five years.

Judy, who used to present This Morning, has kept a low profile recently. Earlier this year, she shared that she lost two stone in 2018 following a health issue.

In 2018, Judy experienced a ruptured stomach ulcer that almost cost her life and required two blood transfusions. Following this health scare, she lost two stone and made significant improvements to her overall health.

Friends have shared that she collaborated with her daughter, Chloe, who is a personal trainer, to adopt healthier habits and maintain a stable weight.

Judy has shared that taking ibuprofen caused her to develop a stomach ulcer so severe it could have led to life-threatening internal bleeding if she hadn’t received medical attention quickly.

She said she had a terrifying experience, almost dying unexpectedly. It was unlike anything she’d ever gone through, and she desperately hoped she would never have to experience it again.

Judy explained that she was saved by the quick response and expertise of the ambulance crew, as well as excellent care and two life-saving blood transfusions she received at London’s Royal Free Hospital.

Chloe put Judy on a revised programme of eating and exercising, which saw her drop two stone. 

Chloe helped her mother follow a diet plan that involved eating smaller meals more frequently, reducing overall calorie intake, and exercising regularly.

According to a source who spoke with Bella magazine last month, Judy has some existing health issues, and her recent weight loss has negatively affected her overall well-being.

Earlier this year Judy looked incredible as she celebrated her 77th birthday with her family. 

Chloe shared several unusual photos of her mother, who hasn’t been seen much in public lately, capturing moments from the celebration.

Judy looked fantastic for the event, wearing a floral dress from Boden that showed off her weight loss. The dress cost £126.

I was so happy to see her celebrated! The family really went all out for her birthday – balloons, flowers, a beautiful cake, and they all enjoyed it together outside in the lovely sunshine. It was a perfect day for a garden party!

Chloe shared a post celebrating a birthday with loved ones, writing, ‘Rosé and good times with my chosen family. Happy birthday to the best woman I know!’

The birthday celebration stretched over two days, and Judy was spotted wearing a black top and pants as they continued the fun in the garden on another sunny day.

Judy has been feeling much healthier and happier since she began losing weight in 2018. Reports from that time said she lost five stone.

Although her recent makeover grabbed attention, Chloe shared with TopMob that her mother didn’t intentionally try to lose weight-it happened gradually on its own.

Chloe explained that her mother’s tastes were evolving with age, but she’d always been someone who preferred simple, classic things – what you might call a ‘meat and potatoes’ kind of person.

I wasn’t involved at all. I was really surprised when I got home on the weekend and opened the fridge to find all these superfood salads and soups – I had no idea where they came from!

She mentioned that her diet has improved dramatically. She’s developed a taste for new foods like sushi, raw fish, and whole grain salads, and has lost weight as a result.

Oh my gosh, it’s just… Judy’s mostly disappeared from TV, which breaks my heart, but thankfully Richard is *still* on Good Morning Britain! I get to see his face every morning, and honestly, it makes my day. It’s just so good to have him there, even if Judy isn’t. I miss seeing them both, but I’ll take what I can get!

I remember when they first met – it was way back in the Eighties when they were both working at ITV Granada. It was such a lovely match, and they ended up getting married in 1986. It feels like a lifetime ago, but I’ve followed their story ever since!

When Judy married journalist David Henshaw, Richard was going through a divorce from his first wife, Lynda.
