TV host Richard Madeley has been branded "creepy" and "delusional" after an interview with England Women's Euro star Chloe Kelly.
Chloe was on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Tuesday to talk about England's historic win against Germany. She said: "It hasn't settled in yet. I think I'm just living in the moment. And not really looking at my phone too much because I'm living in the now and taking it all in."
She further said: "I don't think the girls even thought of penalties.... I did say to the goalkeeper coach at halftime of extra time, I'm not fancying a penalty, and he said to me, well win it then."

On her now famous celebration, she added: "I'm taking my shirt off, I'm going crazy because a male footballer they'd be doing exactly the same so as a woman why can't we." She also added that it was the "best yellow card of her life."
The England and Manchester City player was also introduced to former footballer Bobby Zamora via video link, from East London, where he greeted Chloe after her Euro 2022 success. But viewers were left disturbed after host Richard Madeley bizarrely branded Chloe "Coco".

Richard explained that's what he called his own daughter Chloe. On Twitter, viewers said it was "inappropriate" and "cringe".
One said Madeley was "such a weird" person for calling Chloe Kelly 'Coco' on national TV "with the reasoning of 'that's what I call my daughter'. The viewer added: "Chloe Kelly isn't your daughter. Delusional, almost like he's trying to be a part of her moment."
Another wrote: "Richard Madeley wrapping up his interview with Chloe Kelly by calling her Coco 'because that's what I call MY daughter Chloe' is exactly the sort of high level awkward cringe I can't cope with today."
A third added: "The coco comment by Richard Madeley! Jesus, why did he say that, she’s not your daughter." And a fourth viewer commented: "Richard Madeley you don’t interview someone then end with calling them your daughters nickname. Show Chloe Kelly some respect , she’s more than earned it."
