This is one wacky photo where Chris also wears stockings to show of a chubby bit of thigh. But I’m sure any father seeing this photo of Cassie flashing a bit more than usual will go bonkers. The only problem with Chris Martin’s Cassie therapy is the fact that it might just about him needing therapy after this is over.
