Awkward! Chloe Kelly's Bizarre TV Interview You Won't Believe!

Lionesses star Chloe Kelly, known for her Euro 2022 heroics and currently preparing to face Sweden in the Euro 2025 quarter-finals, recently reflected on an awkward TV interview moment. The incident occurred shortly after her unforgettable extra-time winner against Germany in August 2022.

The interview, on Good Morning Britain, took an unexpected turn when veteran presenter Richard Madeley referred to Kelly as 'Coco'. This nickname, he explained, is what he uses for his own daughter, also named Chloe.

"Chloe – or 'Coco' as I call my daughter Chloe – Coco, thank you very much indeed for coming in," Madeley stated at the end of the interview. Kelly responded with a visible, and understandable, discomfort.

Viewers React with Confusion and Disapproval

The presenter's casual use of his daughter's nickname sparked immediate reactions from viewers, who took to social media to express their confusion and disapproval. Many found the interaction patronizing and inappropriate.

• One viewer tweeted: "I cannot imagine a young male player who'd just scored the winning goal for England in a final going on TV and being told 'Colin – or 'Col-Col' as I call my son Colin – Col-Col, thank you very much indeed for coming in.'"
• Another added: "Patronising. Just as news got overtaken by entertainment, so entertainment gets overtaken by a dreary assumption that everyone is friends and we are just as interested in the host as the guest. She deserves better."

Madeley's behavior was also described as "creepy" by some viewers. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of professionalism and respect in media interactions, even in seemingly lighthearted contexts. As Chloe Kelly focuses on the upcoming Euro 2025 quarter-finals, the awkward interview remains a memorable, if uncomfortable, moment in her career.

Looking Ahead

Despite the past awkwardness, Chloe Kelly remains a key player for the Lionesses as they aim for success in the Euro 2025 tournament. Her focus is now on the match against Sweden, and fans are eager to see her shine on the field.
