Gary Lineker lost for words as Phillip and Holly speak to woman who breastfeeds her fiancé

Gary Lineker was left speechless ahead of his appearance on This Morning on Monday.

The former footballer turned broadcaster was on the ITV daytime programme to chat about his new show.

Gary is about to swap his sporting shows for a game show, ITV’s new series Sitting on a Fortune.

The new series begins this Saturday, November 7, and sees six contestants battle for the chance to win a cash prize of up to £100,000.

But before he got the chance to chat to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, he listened in on the hosts' interview with a woman who breastfeeds her fiancé.

Lana Michaels and her partner Shawn were on This Morning (ITV)

Lana Michaels and her partner Shawn, who have appeared in a new Channel 4 show Breastfeeding My Boyfriend, said they hope to "normalise" breastfeeding between partners.

When asked if the breastfeeding was sexual for the couple, Lana commented: "It can be but anytime you are close together, even when cuddling it can turn sexual.

"It's not just a sexual thing, it can be a thing to bond together and feel close."

Phillip later asked Lana and Shawn, who met on a vegan dating app, how adult breastfeeding works due to them being vegan.

"Do humans not count? Seeing as we’re animals, don’t humans count?" he asked the couple.

"Yeah but the thing is veganism is a movement to protect the animals," Shawn said. "She is a woman who is happy to breastfeed."

Lana added: "It’s about consent," before Shawn continued: "When it comes to cow’s milk, the cow is perhaps not happy with the situation.

"The thing is that veganism is a movement in order to protect the rights of animals. Obviously, she’s an animal, but she’s an animal that is willing to breastfeed. She’s happy to do it as long as she’s happy."

Holly and Phil were amused as they checked in on their next guest, Gary Lineker (ITV)

As Holly and Phil wrapped up the interview they teased what was to come next, which was Gary's interview.

Phil joked that Gary's face was a picture throughout their previous interview with the ex-England star sat laughing in another part of the studio unable to offer any words as to what he had been watching.

And it didn't go unnoticed.

"Gary Lineker's face after that interview! [laughing emoji] This Morning," tweeted one viewer.

Another said: "Gary Lineker giggling away!!! Love it!!!! #ThisMorning."

"Haha Poor Gary coming on after that #ThisMorning," a third added.
