A guest on Vanessa Feltz's talk show apologized after her remarks about breastfeeding sparked nearly 2,000 complaints to Ofcom. The comments were deemed "disgraceful" by viewers. Fashion designer Karen Millen, a guest on the show, stated that breastfeeding beyond six months is "selfish." The controversial comments were made during a discussion about breastfeeding a three-year-old child, prompting immediate backlash. Millen later clarified her comments, stating her issue was with breastfeeding a toddler, not breastfeeding in general. This incident follows previous criticism of Feltz for comments made about coeliac disease in 2023.
