James Haskell told Chloe Madeley to "speak to a therapist" as she fumed over snaps of him with bikini-clad girls.
The former couple were having a conversation on their family TV series, Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair, when the awkward moment occurred. The former rugby player, 38, had photos with girls wearing bikinis while he was working as a DJ in Ibiza while Chloe, 36, remained at home with their daughter Bodhi.
The photographs had caused issues between the pair in the past, with the 36-year-old saying it made her husband "look like a k**b". Trying to explain why she was upset, Chloe said: "I had a really annoying tag on Instagram today under that really annoying post of you at Ocean Beach with all those girls with their a**es out. It was quite embarrassing."

Chloe and James have since split (Instagram)Chloe said that one of her followers said they "felt sorry" for her but James argued back: "Why didn't you just tell them to f**k off?" "It's almost like everyone knows you're my husband and then you post a photo of yourself around these half naked women with a massive grin on your face and then I'm posting photos of me and Bodhi at home. I am just a bit embarrassed that people are feeling sorry for me and I don't want them to," Chloe added.
James hit back: "Well then don't feel like they're embarrassed for you. Also embarrassment is a feeling, not a thing. I didn't embarrass you, you felt embarrassment. It's all down to your reality. I'm doing it, it's not going to change. I didn't do anything, they're there, they're paid dancers, it's just building the brand."

Chloe tried to say again that she found the situation "embarrassing", but James replied: "Well go and speak to a therapist, it's not my problem." When she first saw the photos of James' trip to Ibiza, Chloe said she wasn't happy with them.
She said: "He's on Instagram uploading videos and photos of all these girls, and I was like, 'I will kill you. I will fly to Ibiza and kill you'. He posted videos of him with loads of girls in thongs 'cos he thinks that it like makes him look cool on social media. I'm like you're a k*** and you make me look like a k***. Stop doing it. But he loves it. Honestly, at least he's having fun. You know what I mean."
James and Chloe posted a joint statement at the weekend saying they had gone their separate ways. The pair have called time on their relationship, being married since 2018 and having daughter Bodhi together.
The statement read: "Chloe and I mutually decided 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.
"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."
