Richard Madeley has said he felt “ashamed” for hitting his children when they were young.
Madeley has two children with his wife and former Richard and Judy co-host Judy Finnigan: Jack, who is now 35, and Chloe, now 34.
“For full disclosure, when my children were growing up, I certainly never used a stick,” Madeley said.
The broadcaster opened up about the subject on Good Morning Britain, while discussing a forthcoming law change that will make smacking children illegal in Wales.
