Roman Kemp posed the question of when to tell someone you are in love with them, which prompted James to say that Chloe had told him within three months of dating.
Yet the England player refused to say the words himself, confessing: ‘I didn’t say it back to her for a long time because I really wanted to mean it.’
As Roman quipped, ‘I bet that made her feel good,’ Kate then asked James how he reacted after Chloe had declared that she loved him.
James recalled: ‘I said I “l’adore you”. Combination of love and adore.
‘Then one day we’d had an all-day drinking thing and she was so much fun and good with the boys that I just turned round and said “you are amazing and I love you” and I meant it and have done ever since.’

Proving her love for her other half was Chloe, as she continued to defend her husband after viewers slammed the former England rugby player for branding the other celebrities ‘a circus of stupidity’ in Saturday night’s episode.
James also declared that he was ‘too intelligent and too switched on’ to discuss what he thought was a ‘simple’ question in the Dingo Dollar Challenge, in which the camp were playing to win a treat.

Chloe, who is the daughter of TV’s Richard and Judy, posted on Instagram: ‘The poor guy is in a right old grump.
‘His basal metabolic rate is around 2,500 calories [and] his total daily energy expenditure is around 4,000 calories so to go down to 800, maybe 1,200… is clearly taking its toll on him.
‘I think people should remember this is a TV show orchestrated to get big reactions out of big characters, and maybe take it a tad less seriously.’
