Chloe Madeley Issues Parental Advisory After Toddler’s Ice Cream Fridge Mishap
Television personality Chloe Madeley, daughter of Richard Madeley, has issued a cautionary message to parents following a distressing incident involving her toddler. The mother-of-one described her moment of panic when her two-year-old daughter, Bodhi, sustained a minor injury after her tongue became briefly adhered to an ice cream fridge door at a leisure centre. Madeley is now urging vigilance among mothers and all parents, recounting how her child narrowly avoided a scene reminiscent of the slapstick comedy film “Dumb and Dumber” from 1994. Sharing details of the alarming episode on her social media, Madeley conveyed the seriousness of what initially seemed like a trivial event.
Toddler’s “Dumb and Dumber” Moment Leads to Parental Warning
Detailing the event in a social media post, Chloe Madeley explained, “Bodhi recreated a ‘Dumb and Dumber’ scenario by getting her tongue stuck on an ice-cream refrigerator.” She continued, “Upon pulling away, a very small area of skin was torn, and to my astonishment, there was a significant amount of blood. I am sharing this as a helpful reminder to all caregivers as we enter ice-cream season.”
Madeley further elaborated on the nature of mouth injuries, stating, “The mouth tends to bleed profusely, even from minor surface abrasions. It’s crucial to apply pressure for up to ten minutes to properly assess if the bleeding is subsiding and determine if emergency medical attention is necessary.”
Panic and Reminder to Parents
Reflecting on her reaction, Madeley admitted, “I am sharing this not from a place of superior knowledge, but because I completely blanked on all of this information and reacted purely out of panic. My apologies to anyone at David Lloyd who witnessed the scene. While I wish I could say such occurrences are rare, that would be untrue, and my child is certainly spirited.”
Past Medical Emergency: Cheese Overindulgence
This recent incident follows a previous revelation from Richard Madeley about another health scare involving Chloe. Last year, the television presenter disclosed that Chloe had experienced a medical emergency requiring hospital treatment due to excessive cheese consumption.

Richard Madeley Reveals Daughter’s Cheese-Related Hospital Visit
During an appearance on ITV’s “Romesh Ranganathan’s Parents’ Evening” alongside Chloe, Richard Madeley recounted the event. Chloe confessed that medical professionals informed her she had experienced ‘bacterial shock’ after consuming two whole Camembert cheeses following a night out. Bacterial shock, also known as septic shock, is a severe medical condition where the body’s response to a bacterial infection causes a dangerously critical drop in blood pressure.
Richard Madeley explained, “Chloe indeed ended up in the emergency room on Christmas morning due to cheese. This happened when she was approximately 17 or 18 years old and had been out celebrating on Christmas Eve.”
