Vernon Kay confesses that wife Tess Daly's co-star 'put her breast milk in his tea'

Vernon Kay shared an unexpected revelation on his BBC Radio 2 show this morning, on the topic of breast milk.

The 50-year-old host began Thursday's programme by telling listeners that he had overslept by an hour, yet miraculously made it to the studio on time.
