ITV This Morning fans brand 'car crash' Bernie Ecclestone interview 'uncomfortable' viewing

This Morning fans said the show became ' uncomfortable ' to watch during a 'car crash' interview with Bernie Ecclestone.

The ex-Formula 1 boss and billionaire has just become a father for the fourth time at the age of 89.

Bernie, who insists he didn't need Viagra to become a dad said he is planning to have more children in the future.

He told Holly Willoughby: "It was arranged, I wanted to be a father and Fabiana really wanted to be a mum as well.

"And I didn't realise, how being a father, which now I am, how good and interesting it is in life.

"Now I have a lot more time, so I can spend a lot more time with him."

During the interview, Phillip Schofield asked Bernie if he will really be changing nappies, having sleepless nights and doing bottle feeds.

Bernie said: "No. I do whatever is necessary, when it is necessary and at the moment it isn’t necessary, that is what wives are for."

Holly winced at the remark, saying: "That’s going to be controversial Bernie."

Fans said the whole interview was a 'car crash' and 'uncomfortable to watch'.

Phyl wrote: "That #thismorning interview with Bernie was a tad uncomfortable."

Jimmy said: "Ironically, a car crash interview."
