This Morning's Holly Willoughby blushes as she watches 'personal moment' of man with record breaking tongue

This Morning viewers were treated to a record-breaker on the latest live show - the man with the world's longest tongue, and when he showed off one of his skills, Holly Willoughby almost had to look away in embarrassment.

Nick Stoeberl from California has the world’s longest tongue (male) measuring at 10.1 cm. Appearing on This Morning to talk about his impressive attribute, he said it helped him make friends and earned him the nickname 'Gene Simmons' at school after the Kiss frontman who also had a freakishly long tongue.

Nick told Phil and Holly: "It's a very popular sort of trick, I guess at parties and stuff. So people always want to talk to me. And people always introduce other people to me by saying, Oh, this is Nick. He's got the Guinness World Record for longest tongue. So socially, it's, it's quite useful."

And it was when Nick started to do his art - for which he also has the nickname 'Lickasso' - that Holly felt the interview had taken a turn, not least because Nick then couldn't answer questions because he started wrapping his tongue in Clingfilm and plopping paint on his lengthy appendage.

As Nick got down to his art with the Vision On music in the background, Holly said: "I feel like I shouldn't be watching you do this, it feels like a very personal moment."

The interview concluded with Nick saying he was happy to be in the UK for the first time and that his opportunities were all thanks to his tongue. "Getting to meet the great people and have good food and the culture, it's just it's great where my tongue has taken me."
