Well here's a love story you probably haven't heard before.

A woman from the UK has gone public about her love life, admitting to having some 15 ghost lovers on national television.

Yeah.

This romance story for the ages comes to us – as does most golden moments in British television – from the upstanding crew at This Morning.

In perhaps one of their most bizarre interviews ever - and that's really saying something - presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield spoke to Amethyst Realm about her love life.

And holy moly, it's hard to present this without comment.

Realm told the presenters she hasn't been with another man after having an affair with a spirit in her home while her fiancé was off at work.

Eventually one thing led to another and… well she claims she had sexy times with a ghost.

And apparently, it continued happening, with Realm claiming to have had up to 15 spirit lovers.

Obviously, "woman has sex with ghost" caught Twitter's interest:

It was one of those paradoxical segments that makes you both shake your head at and applaud the current state of journalism… depending on your definition of the word.

Sure, shout that it's "not news" all you want, but bloody hell is this fascinating.

And while we're at it - the goal of this segment was clearly not to be "news" in the traditional sense, but an interesting look at one of the many strange, strange facets of humanity.

It was like something that should have been a Louis Theroux special, except it was on morning television.

So we have to give the people at This Morning props for bringing this strange story to light… and to Willoughby and Schofield for keeping straight faces.
