Emmerdale star Danny Miller's wife Steph praised for breastfeeding baby live on ITV's Loose Women

Emmerdale star Danny Miller's wife Steph has been praised by fans after she began breastfeeding her child live on TV. The couple appeared on ITV's Loose Women on Friday (August 18) to discuss their difficulties getting pregnant.

Steph, who works as a midwife, suffers from polycystic ovaries (PCOS), which can lead to fertility problems. But the couple managed to get pregnant and Steph recently gave birth to their little girl Edith.

During the show, Edith could be heard crying backstage. Steph's mum then brought her out to be settled, giving Steph and Danny the chance to introduce her to the audience and viewers at home, reports The Mirror.

But Steph quickly realised that Edith needed feeding. She began to discreetly breastfeed the newborn while Danny kept their two-year-old son Albert on his knee.

Viewers were delighted to see Steph not shy away from breastfeeding her child despite being on TV.

“What a lovely moment to see Steph just turning away from the camera so she could breastfeed her beautiful baby xxx #proudmum #breastfeeding,” said one viewer on Twitter. Another added: “Yes Steph!!!! Well done for braving feeding on TV, fab to see!!! Congratulations to you both on your arrival!!”

One viewer praised Steph for "showing how natural breastfeeding is". Another fan said they were amazed by her candour. They said: "Just idly flicking through TV channels and saw an interview on @loosewomen with Danny Miller and his wife Steph who is a #midwife and had #homebirth and casually #breastfeeding! Absolutely amazing! What an advocate! Cheered up my day no end. Enjoy your beautiful family.”
