JUDE BELLINGHAM was bent double with laughter by an astonishing breast milk revelation from Gianfranco Zola live on Channel 4.

The ex-West Ham manager exclaimed: "I have  to say it makes me laugh, because at 20 years old I was still drinking milk from my mum."

And that's a tiny shame for Bellingham - as, on the night England sealed qualification for Euro 2024, he was the cream of the crop.
