Mummy Diaries and former TOWIE star Sam Faiers divided Twitter after she breastfed baby Paul live on TV on Wednesday after arriving late to the studios.
The 25-year-old revealed she didn’t have time to do it on her way to the This Morning studios as she was interviewed by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
Covering her modesty with a tea towel as she fed her 10-month-old baby, Phillip made clear that it was Sam’s choice to do so and not a requirement of the show.
