James Haskell SLAMMED for calling pregnant wife Chloe Madeley ‘a huge sea cow’
I'M A Celeb star James Haskell has come under fire after describing pregnant wife Chloe Madeley as a "sea cow".
The 36-year-old ex-rugby star shared a picture of her floating underwater with her baby bump showing saying: "I didn’t know whether to harpoon it or feed it."
He posted: "Bloody hell you go snorkelling and the first thing you see is a huge sea cow doing a mating display!
"She appears to think I’m her partner. I didn’t know whether to harpoon it or feed it."
Many warned James he was playing with fire with remarks like that, with one writing: "Straight to hell for that one !"
Another wrote: "Not sure calling a pregnant woman a sea cow is a wise move Hask (but feed it)."

A third asked the star: "Are you brave or stupid?"
The loved-up pair are currently on holiday at the five-star Soneva Jani resort in the Maldives before the baby is born.
James announced their news live on Good Morning Britain during an interview with his father-in-law Richard Madeley in February.
Delighted host Richard, 65, then shared a picture of Chloe's 12-week baby scan.

Paying tribute to his father in law, James said he was the best grandad in the world to his first grandson Kit, three.
Chloe, 34, waited for the telly announcement before sharing her joy on Instagram.
She held up a tiny sleepsuit beside her beaming mum Judy Finnigan, 73, who held copies of the 12-week scan.
TV viewers will know James - a former rugby union star for England and Wasps - for his appearance on I'm A Celebrity in 2019.
