THERE'S shock value on TV, and then there's this guy who thought it was a brilliant idea to try an audience member's breastmilk in front of thousands of viewers.

Dutch TV host Paul De Leeuw made a boob of himself during filming of his chat show Langs De Leeuw, which focused on breastfeeding.



The audience was made up of breastfeeding mothers who donate excess milk to women who are unable to produce enough of their own.



The openly gay comedian was asked if he wanted to taste the milk from one audience member who had expressed milk into a bottle, The Sun reported.



But De Leeuw joked to the woman, known as Wendy, that he would rather try it direct from the source.



Wendy, then unhooks herself from the pump and tells him he can "so long as he doesn’t bite".



Video footage then shows him suckling from one breast and then the other before telling Wendy: "I find the second one better tasting, but I can taste that you've eaten asparagus yesterday."



But the stunt sparked outrage across the largely liberal nation with people saying it was disgusting.

It is the latest in a series of outrages across Europe.

In Sweden, adverts for flannel shirts featuring naked and semi-naked women in suggestive poses sparked howls of outrage int he normally-liberal country.

And in Denmark, a TV show which features features two middle-aged men judging the bodies of women who stand naked before them, caused a storm, with many labelling it a sexist humiliation of women.
