Chloe recently revealed the real reason she abruptly pulled her daughter from filming TOWIE.
The reality star told MailOnline she felt uncomfortable by the way Madison, now 20, was treated when she appeared on the ITVBe series and instantly regretted putting her child on TV at such a young age.
In an exclusive interview, the mother-of-one said she didn't allow Madi to use social media until she was 16 years old and even now she can't bear the teen having an online profile.
Being a protective parent led Chloe to keep Madison out of the limelight as much as possible but she admits trolls have targeted her over their misbelief she was leaving her daughter behind.
Chloe has revealed Madison was always in the background during filming and while she doesn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps on reality TV, she does see herself on stage.
Speaking to MailOnline, Chloe said: 'I didn't show Madi a lot when I was on TOWIE. When she was little, I let her do a couple of scenes and I didn't like the way she was treated so I pulled her back out and said I didn't want her filming.
'Madi didn't understand because she was so young, and I thought this wasn't her choice and I'm putting her on TV, and this isn't something she has signed up to at five years old.
'I felt very protective of her, and I didn't want her on camera, and I tried to shield her from that whole world.

'When I was filming TOWIE throughout those years a lot of people didn't realise that she was with me like when we went to Marbella, she was with me, her and her nan, they would be in the room with me.
'I was trying to do the right thing and protect my child, but I wasn't seen as a mother. Trolls would say, 'where's your daughter?' It was tricky navigating that.
'It's a scary decision putting your child on TV because you're exposing them. I'm quite a nervous person anyhow and I think the worst of things, I didn't want anyone looking at my daughter, I'm very protective. I do keep her out of the public eye as much as possible.'
Chloe admits she dislikes her daughter being online because she can see how the pressures of social media are deeply affecting teenage girls.
The TV star says if it wasn't for her career on the small screen, she wouldn't use Instagram as even as a 42 year old adult, it can damage her self-esteem.
She said: 'I am a mum of a 19-year-old daughter. She is my best friend, she is so funny and has grown into her own person, but she is a little bit sassy sometimes, she has a lot of my personality. She is the love of my life.
'I didn't let Madi have social media for ages. I think she was 16 when I agreed to let her have it and I still hate her having it to this day, I can't bear it. If I wasn't in this industry, I wouldn't have it. If you want to feel bad about yourself, just have a little scroll.
'Luckily, she isn't pursuing a reality TV career, but Madison has a really great voice and is good at singing and likes performing arts and acting.
'She was going to drama school in LA. She can sing opera, she has an amazing voice, I don't know where she got it from because I can't sing a note. She's more into singing, which I'm happy for because it's an actual talent.'
Despite starring on TOWIE, Celebs Go Dating, and her own series The House of Sims, Chloe says she dreads the idea of her daughter showing any interest in reality TV and her worst nightmare would be Madison joining the cast of Love Island.
She argues the dating show needs to have more diverse body types and admits she finds watching the series 'difficult' as a parent.

Oprah says Barbara Walters was 'one of the reasons' she didn't have kids
revealed that the late Barbara Walters had contributed to her decision to not have children of her own. The TV personality, 71, commented on the topic in the upcoming Hulu documentary Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything, per The Daily Beast. Barbara, who died aged 93 in 2022, adopted a daughter named Jacqueline in 1968 with her second husband Lee Guber. However, Barbara notably had a rocky relationship with Jacqueline and at one point, her teenage daughter ran away from home for a month. Oprah recalled how Barbara had encouraged her to have kids: 'I remember her telling me once that there's nothing more fulfilling than having children, and "You should really think about it". 'And I was like, "Okay, but I'm looking at you, so, no".' Oprah also described Barbara's relationship with her daughter as both 'complex' and 'charged' - adding that it was 'one of the reasons why I never had children'. She also noted she understood Barbara's drive when it came to her journalism career and touched on the subject of needing to make sacrifices when it comes to both work and parenting. 'You are a pioneer in your field and you are trying to break the mold, for yourself and for women who are going to follow you,' she said. 'Something's going to have to give for that. 'And that is why I did not have children. I knew I could not do both well. Both are sacrifices. Sacrifice to do the work and it's also sacrifice to be the mother and to say, "No, let somebody else have that". 'At no time have I ever heard a story, read a story, and based on what I know of Barbara Walters - at no time has Barbara Walters ever said, "No let someone else take that story".' In the documentary, Barbara could be heard saying: 'I was in my 30s when Jackie was born. 'My daughter's a blessing. My world came together. I mean, I was already on the Today show, and I'd had three miscarriages, and now I had everything.' But as Jacqueline grew older, their relationship became strained while her daughter also became involved with drugs. Barbara admitted to feeling 'guilty' when it came to her only child and also stated, 'I didn't realize how tough it was, because she had a mother who was a celebrity.' She added, 'We struggled through schools. And then finally, at one point, when she was 16, I guess, she ran away.' The Hulu doc Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything is set to premiere on the streaming site on June 23. It 'examines the broadcast legend's pivotal role in the history of journalism and her pioneering example for women in the industry,' per an official synopsis.

Beach Boys' Mike Love says he feels late bandmate Brian Wilson's 'presence' as he's inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame
Beach Boys' Mike Love said he felt the 'presence' of his late bandmate Brian Wilson when he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on Thursday. Brian passed away on Wednesday aged 82 after being diagnosed with a neurocognitive disorder similar to dementia. Attending the ceremony in New York, Mike was inducted by John Stamos and paid tribute to his cousin and 'brother in music.' Accepting his honour on stage, he admitted: 'I do feel his presence.' 'I especially must thank my cousin Brian Wilson. My first cousin by blood but brother in music, together we set the stage for some of the most successful music collaborations of all time,' The Hollywood Reporter states. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. John said of Mike: 'He made the whole world want to be us: sun-kissed, carefree, full of promise. 'His lyrics were cinematic. What's a song without a hook? What's a hook without a picture in your head or a memory in your heart? Mike Love knows how to write that song.' Mike performed Beach Boys classic, California Girls as well as I Get Around, Kokomo and Good Vibrations. Brian shot to fame as the frontman of the Beach Boys, for which he served as the principal songwriter as well as the co-lead vocalist. Last year, weeks after the death of his longtime wife Melinda, it emerged that he had been diagnosed with a neurocognitive disorder similar to dementia. Brian's children announced his death on his official Instagram page this Wednesday, alongside what appeared to be a recent photo. 'We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now,' they wrote. 'Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy.' Brian formed the Beach Boys in 1961 with his brothers Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love and their friend Al Jardine. The original name of the band was the Pendletones, and they exploded onto the scene with their 1961 song Surfin', written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love. Over the course of the 1960s the group became one of the most beloved in America, releasing albums like Surfin' Safari, Surfin' U.S.A. and Surfer Girl. Their 1966 hit God Only Knows was branded 'the greatest song ever written' by Beatles legend Paul McCartney. Along with their pioneering musical style, the band also conjured up an intoxicating image of a carefree California lifestyle of sunshine, palm trees and sea air. However Wilson's involvement with the Beach Boys shifted dramatically when he suffered a nervous breakdown in 1964, followed by two more in the next couple of years. He promptly withdrew from touring but retained his backstage control of the band as a writer and producer, masterminding their 1966 magnum opus Pet Sounds and providing lead vocals on many of the tracks. Pet Sounds struggled commercially at first, but ultimately earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed pop albums ever created. Paul McCartney has cited Pet Sounds as a particularly profound influence on him, one that spurred him to write more experimentally for the Beatles, leading to their own seminal album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. 'First of all, it was Brian's writing,' said McCartney in 1990. 'I love the album so much. I've just bought my kids each a copy of it for their education in life - I figure no one is educated musically 'til they've heard that album. I was into the writing and the songs.' Wilson plunged into heavy drug use during the 1960s, including LSD, and the combination of his mounting substance problem and psychological issues like schizoaffective disorder contributed to his increasing retreat from public life. One of his symptoms was paranoid delusions, and he continued hearing voices in his head during the last decades of his life. On the other hand, the psychedelics also served as creative fuel, with Wilson reportedly composing the music for one of the Beach Boys' most enduring singles, the 1966 release Good Vibrations, while tripping on LSD.
