James Haskell joked that his father-in-law, Richard Madeley, once told him to fuck off when he tried to help him cook on Boxing Day years ago.
The former rugby player (37) revealed that the TV star (66) could not cook this year to keep it “stress-free”, as he recalled the previous incident.
James is married to Chloe Madeley – the daughter of Richard and his wife Judi Finnigan – and the couple have a daughter, Bodhi, aged seven months.

James spoke about the festive season on Wednesday This Morning: “Christmas was good. This year he (Richard) was not allowed to cook because I met him for the first time on Boxing Day.
“I was told he could be a bit of a nuisance in the kitchen, don’t go in there. It was obviously a red rag for a policeman, son-in-law, who wanted to make a good impression.
“I went in and talked to him. He used one of those “f” words and I quickly walked back to my wife and said “I should probably go, your dad just told me to go”.

“She said, ‘Oh don’t worry, he does it to everybody, he did it to Jamie Oliver.’
James continued: “This year he was kicked out of the kitchen because we wanted it to be hassle free and Chloe’s brother Dan cooked up an absolute storm, very relaxing, we were looked after like royalty, it was amazing.”
It comes after Richard looked every inch the doting grandfather as his family enjoyed a Boxing Day lunch together last Monday afternoon.
Chloe shared a number of snaps from the outing, including one of her TV star dad entertaining her daughter as she sat at the dinner table.

In the beautiful clip, Richard held Bodhi in his hands and made playful expressions as the little girl grabbed his face.
Elsewhere, Chloe, who wore a black jumper with gold detailing, later sat with her daughter on her lap in another sweet shot.
Dressed in a festive outfit, Bodhi also sported a pair of lips as a treat during the Christmas dinner.
Chloe and her father were also joined by their mother Judy (74) and husband James, as the group posed for a picture next to a Christmas tree.

Chloe and James welcomed their first child together, Bodhi, last August.
After the birth, Chloe admitted that throughout her pregnancy she feared she would regret her decision to have children.
Chloe, who gave birth via emergency caesarean section in August, was living with her parents at the time while doing renovations on her own home.

Chloe discussed her initial worries about motherhood and said: “I doubted for a long time whether I wanted children and I think many women don’t necessarily talk about it.
“In the third trimester. I was very nervous, I hope I made the right decision and thought it would pass. It didn’t, and I was very nervous about it.
“As soon as I saw her, I fell madly in love and I thought: ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever done!
Discussing her new family arrangement, she revealed: “WWe were renovating our house and needed an apartment. I gently asked Mom and Dad, “How would you like it if we only stayed a week?”
“My mother – because I was heavily pregnant at the time – thought her birthdays and Christmas all came at the same time!
“I would say that since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve never had such a strong bond with my mother. I’ve always been a bit of a daddy’s girl and I feel a little guilty for saying that, but it is what it is.
