Chloe Madeley has opened up to TV host Christine Lampard about the drama surrounding her Royal wedding outfit. The daughter of former This Morning presenters Judy Finnigan and Richard Madeley told the Lorraine show how she learned her lesson after accidentally exposing her shoulders at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in May, after she left her jacket on the coach by mistake. Chloe looked stunning on the big day in a light pink dress with spaghetti straps – however, outfit protocol stipulated that guests' shoulders must be covered in the church service, hence the uproar at Chloe's dress choice.

Chloe explained that she had got too hot on the coach journey to Windsor Castle and took off her jacket. Poor Chloe then forgot to pick it up and had to enter the church bare-shouldered.
She said: "[I thought] it’s fine, it’s not a big deal, nobody will care. Yes, people definitely cared. People were like, ‘You’re offending the House of the Lord, I was like, ‘Oh my god, oh my god, I did not need a religious war’. But, you know, it’s OK, lesson learned.” She added: “My shoulders will probably be out at my own wedding. I don’t think I’m going to do the long sleeve thing. It’s me. I mean, come on.”

Chloe revealed: "He kissed me on the forehead and said, 'You do know how much I love you, don’t you? The last three and a half years have been the best years of my life.' "I just thought he was being romantic because we were in Paris, so I replied, 'Oh babe, that’s so sweet.'" she recalls.
