Chloe Madeley showed off her washboard abs in a black ʙικιɴι on Instagram on Tuesday and revealed she is ‘committed to staying single’.
The personal trainer, 37, daughter of TV presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, looked incredible as she posted a mirror selfie during a Q&A on her social media story.
She shared the striking snap after a fan asked: ‘Do you feel more confident when you’re lean or are you body confident regardless?’
The TV personality replied: ‘I definitely feel more body confident when I’ve worked hard for a result and I’ve got it; as opposed to just coasting for a while.
‘But that can be when I’m leaner (this was 2 months ago, I’m not nearly this lean now), OR when I’m gunning it in the gym to build muscle (and consequently have a bit more body fat on me).
‘I find it interesting that most women comment on my body when I’m leaner (some tell me to gain weight, some tell me I’ve never looked so good), but nobody really says anything when I’m looking jacked (ish). Yet the effort of both make me feel GREAT in my body.’

The personal trainer explained that she was not looking for a new partner after she and her ex James Haskell got divorced in 2023 (pictured in 2022)
Elsewhere in the Q&A, Chloe explained that she was not looking for a new partner after splitting from rugby star James in 2023.
A fan asked, ‘what do you look for in a guy??’, to which she responded: ‘I don’t [laughing emoji] I’m very happily committed to being and staying single [upside down smiley face emoji].’
While Chloe has stayed single, James has been linked to two ladies since they split.
Most recently, it was claimed he was dating Big Brother star Sara McLean.
As James’s new romance came to light, Chloe also took to Instagram to share a cryptic post about ‘negative energy’.
Her clip featured a sheep running around a field with a bucket on its head, hinting it was blissfully unaware, and she wrote over the top: ‘Me: It’s so nice in here.
‘She’s at a place in her life where peace is a priority and negativity cannot exist. She is no longer matching energy.
‘She is simply removing herself from any situation that doesn’t vibrate her soul. So if you start moving funny, she’s moving on.’

Another asked, ‘what do you look for in a guy??’, to which she said: ‘I don’t [laughing emoji] I’m very happily committed to being and staying single [upside down smiley face emoji]’
James was seen holding hands with BB starlet Sara as they headed to the races on the second day of the Cheltenham Festival in February.
Sara, a beauty queen and reality star has previously dated US World Cup goalie hero Tim Howard, rugby star Ben Cohen, cricket legend Shane Warne and TOWIE’s Mario Falcone.
In January James was linked to newly single mother-of-two Helen Barclay, who bore a striking resemblance to Chloe.
Yet the relationship appears to have fizzled out, with James pictured parading his new romance with Sara at the horse racing-based meeting.
His ex-wife Chloe previously revealed she knows the former Wasps flanker has been ‘having fun’ seeing other people, but maintained the pair still have a healthy relationship as they continue to co-parent.
Sara is a former Miss Edinburgh and Big Brother contestant who shocked Housemates when she gave a tearful rendition of God Save The Queen, before going on a rant about people who hate the royal family.
James and Chloe announced their split in October 2023 after several months of speculation their marriage was on the rocks.
During Chloe’s ITV reality show, Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair, which aired around the same time they announced their split, cracks in their relationship were apparent.
James and Chloe, who married in 2018 and share daughter Bodhi, two, confirmed they had split in a joint statement released in October 2023

Notably, clashes over James’s new lifestyle which involved DJing abroad and partying with glamorous women, while his wife took care of most of the parenting duties back home.
Speaking to The Sun in February, Chloe – the daughter of veteran TV couple Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan – admitted the latter stages of their marriage was ‘awful’, ‘dark’ and ‘painful’.
Chloe said: ‘When you tell people that you are divorcing, everyone sees it as such a negative thing.
‘They say: ‘This is going to be so hard for you.’ And, yes, it is, but the hardest bit was when we were married.
‘The last year of the marriage was awful. It was so dark, painful, and one of the worst periods of my life. It’s a good thing we ended it. It was so incredibly scary. I’m amazed I got through it in the way that I did.
‘I think more people should see it as a positive thing. I’m so proud of myself and so relieved that I actually called it a day.’
After their split, the couple still lived together in their north London home and were often spotted together with Bodhi as they tried to be as amicable as they could for their little girl.
Despite some fans thinking the two were back together because of this, Chloe confirmed that they had both moved on, adding she expects the former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star to find a new partner before she does.
She said: ‘It’ll probably happen for James long before it happens to me if it hasn’t already. I’m waiting for the conversation to happen at some point.’

Tensions were high before the couple split, with James even claiming Chloe treats him ‘like a dog’ and likened their relationship to ‘World War Three’.
In one episode of their reality show before their break-up was announced, James moaned: ‘She shushes me like I’m a dog or like I’m a baby. I’m like “shush me again and that’s the last thing you’ll ever do.”‘
Chloe went on to explain: ‘The difficulty in mine and James’s relationship comes from the fact that both of us think we’re in charge.’
Confirming the end of their marriage in a statement in October 2023, the couple said: ‘Chloe and I mutually decided to separate at the end of September, 2023.
‘We had not planned on releasing a statement at this time – certainly not while the television show was airing – but constant speculation about our marriage has, unfortunately, forced our hand.’
She added: ‘Beyond this statement, we will not be speaking about this matter publicly, and we would request privacy at this time. Our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter. We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.’
Sharing his own statement on Instagram, James said: ‘It’s with a lot of sadness I write this post, but unfortunately, in the world we live in, it has to be done. My priority is my daughter’s and Chloe’s happiness and security. For that reason, I won’t be commenting any further.’
