CHLOE Madeley is living in fear as she receives gruesome death threats from trolls jealous of her sexy physique.

The personal trainer says it has become so awful that her famous family have called in private investigat­ors to help track down one nasty stalker.

She says: “Loads of people get trolled online and it happens to me every time I post a picture. But it’s got pretty bad now and, yes, I have felt afraid for my own safety.

“I have had this one stalker for a while now who has taken things to another level.

“His threats aren’t your standard death threats, they are more graphic scenes of a horror moviestyle torture. It is weekly and it’s absolutely sick.

“We’ve been to the police countless times but they can’t do anything, the laws against it pre-date Twitter. So it’s being dealt with privately with an investigat­or.

“As soon as you take things privately you have more options. I want this person prosecuted. There are some crazy people out there and it should stop.”

Chloe, 29 – the daughter of daytime TV legends Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan – moved to the Midlands with England rugby hunk boyfriend James Haskell.

And, despite now moving away from the limelight, she disputes her “wild child” or “tearaway teen” reputation that still follows her around.

Cannabis

“Oh come off it, looking back I was hardly a wild child,” she laughs. Chloe is referring to her teenage party-girl days – in 2009 she was caught smoking cannabis and charged with drinkdrivi­ng after her car was found on its roof in London.

But she shrugs off her past as a typical coming-of-age misdemeano­ur.

She says: “I can see how kids of celebrity parents can get a bad rep, but I wasn’t doing anything any other teenagers weren’t doing. I just got caught.

“People talk about my teenage years as going off the rails but looking back I don’t think I really did. I was normal, except everyone was watching me!

“I was making mistakes like every 19 to 20-yearold does. I got photograph­ed smoking a bong and it was a huge sh**storm and everyone went wild about it. Looking back I think it wasn’t a big deal, a young person smoking!”

After a brief stint on reality TV, Chloe has forged her own successful career in the fitness world, qualifying first as a personal trainer before launching a successful app and writing a book.

And when it comes to body transforma­tions, she is her own best advertisem­ent. She admits she regularly yo-yos between hard training, which involves gruelling daily workouts and a super-strict diet plan, and then letting herself gain weight, before doing it all again.

“You can’t live like this all the time,” she explains. “But it’s fun seeing how hard you can push yourself and then doing it all over again. I genuinely love it.

“It’s been two-and-a-half months of hitting it hard again, and I will probably have a break again now. TIM MERRY FAITH SAVILL-SMITH MARIE MCCAVER The last few weeks I’ve been in the best shape I’ve ever been in.

“So I will let loose now, and then go again at the start of May for a big shoot.”

Chloe is referring to her book deal and fashion range launching this summer.

She says: “I have a really exciting book deal which is amazing, it’s a body transforma­tion guide.

“People keep asking for a recipe book and I would like to do it, but I wanted to do the body transforma­tion guide first. I am halfway through writing it and really excited for people to see it.”

But she admits it’s hard to stand out in an over-saturated fitness market packed full of health gurus and celebritie­s eager to make a fast buck out of losing weight. She says: “I don’t wa quick-fix t uncomforta don’t diet a ing me whi The answer
