Speaking to OK! Magazine, Chloe – who is the daughter of This Morning legends Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan – revealed why she decided to call her daughter Bodhi.

I love the meaning – it means enlightenment, it means new life.

“I love the meaning – it means enlightenment, it means new life,” Chloe said.

Explaining the meaning behind the middle name, Chloe said she’s “always loved” Rae, but thought it’d be better suited for a middle name.

In the end, the two decided on Bodhi Rae Georgia which they thought sounded sweet.

Chloe also revealed how former rugby and I’m A Celebrity star James was “really on the fence” with the name Bodhi at first.

“I don’t think he was really that into it,” Chloe admitted.

However, Chloe said the moment husband James saw their daughter he said “she looks like a Bodhi”.
