James, 38, and Chloe, 36, are currently featuring in a fly-on-the-wall series with their toddler Bodhi, and Chloe's parents Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan.

In a teaser clip from the upcoming ITX series Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair, the ex-rugby ace says: "When it comes to sports, you live in the moment and try not to show your emotions.

"But now, I’ve probably cried more in the last year than I have in my entire life.

“Being a dad is so emotional. You learn to love someone so primal, and you don’t really know how to comprehend it. I think it’s amazing.”

He continued: “Being a dad is such an emotional thing. As a sportsman, I was taught not to get too happy, too sad, or overemotional.

“But when you have someone to look after and guard, who’s just the sweetest thing and who loves you for who you are, it’s a different story.”

The show tracks their experience as first time parents and the struggle to keep their spark alive.

He added in the clip shared by : "It is (hard) but it’s the same for any couple with a baby. The child becomes your priority, and you’re usually really tired.”

It comes after Chloe was seen without her sparkler.

Sources said she was “upset” after James was pictured cosying up to a blonde woman the night before as he left Chiltern Firehouse in West London.

A pal revealed: “Chloe wanted a night out to let her hair down with her mates. She really showed James what he was missing in her revealing outfit.”

Another insider told how Chloe and James have had a series of "explosive" rows lately.

“Although they have explosive rows, Chloe and James really are stronger than ever," they told .

"James is very much larger than life and says things without thinking. He’s got a very loud voice too."

Following The Sun's snaps of Chloe without her ring, James took to Instagram on Sunday morning and typed: "Live a lonely life!"

He posted the comment alongside a video from his DJ set while playing a remix of Ace of Base's song, All That She Wants.

The vocal, "she lives a lonely life", could be heard on loop.

James added to the caption of his post: "Track ID Bodhi James Haskell."
