PEEK-A-BOOB
Alex Jones reveals she once flashed both boobs at an entire restaurant in breastfeeding blunder
ALEX Jones admitted accidentally flashing both her boobs to an entire restaurant in the early stages of breastfeeding.
Revealing she struggled to get to grips with the process, the TV presenter, 41, recalled a very awkward moment that happened when she was out breastfeeding son Teddy in a cafe with friends last year.

Appearing on today's Loose Women, she confessed: "I remember being in a cafe in West London I was sitting there with friends, who were NCT friends who were in the same stage.
"Now, some people can just throw a little bit of muslin over the shoulder and it's so effortless but I just wasn't one of those people.
"I was all very awkward and I was trying to undo the strap and get the shawl over and once I thought, 'I've nailed this now. I'm having a latte and I'm feeding, this is amazing. I've got it down'."
However, Alex's joy was short-lived when a friend told her to check the shawl she was using to cover her modesty.

She quipped: "I looked down and the piece of muslin had fallen off and I was sitting there with both boobs out because I hadn't been bothered to do the straps up.
"It was an open kitchen and all the chefs were making brunch and I was just sitting there with both out."
Panellist Coleen Nolan then took the anecdote as an opportunity to make a very cheeky joke, laughing: "I bet the chefs thought: 'That reminds me, I must get more baps'."
Alex's embarrassing anecdote came after she hit out at the BBC for not providing enough spaces to breastfeed.

Speaking at the Hay Festival earlier this month, she said: “Companies say all the right things. They say yes we’re there – we’re going to support families, make it possible for dads to take paternity leave, for mothers to take extended maternity leave, to feed at work.
“Actually the truth is, the facilities still aren’t there. They talk a good game but even at the BBC there isn’t a creche, there isn’t a room where you can express, there isn’t a fridge where you can keep your milk.”
The 41-year-old added: “I work in quite a male-dominated environment and it’s hard to be doing a meeting and trying to express breast milk. It just didn’t work and so I had to throw in the towel.”
