This Morning’s raunchy discussion had fans in stitches on social media, as commentator Alan Johnson admitted he’s a “carnivore” when it comes to the bedroom.
Former Health Secretary Alan joined royal commentator Camilla Tominey around the table on the ITV programme on Wednesday (March 20), to chat to hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley about the rise of so-called “girly men” in Japan. These men are reportedly not pursuing women for sex, leading to falling birth rates in the country.
But things got a little awkward as the stars of the show began to discuss their own bedroom habits. Ben explained: “Half of Japanese married couples no longer have sex, and they’re putting it down to potentially to these ‘girly men’ who are suddenly sprouting out of the woodwork.”

These men are described as “holding down humble jobs, having women as friends rather than lovers and spending their free time shopping and eating cakes”. It was then suggested that the men might simply be gay, with Alan chiming in: “Yes, this could be a story. Gay men generally don’t want to have sex with women. Hold the front page.”
Ben clarified: “I think they’re classing them as herbivorous men. Not quite the carnivores that they’ve been used to. If they’ve got an issue with their birth rate, and 50% of married couples are not having sex, they’ve got to address it somehow. Do you think men have lost their way slightly?”
Things took an awkward turn as Ben asked Alan: “Are you more carnivore or herbivore?” and Alan didn’t hesitate to reveal: “I’m more carnivore.” Ben had a confession of his own, as he said: “The interesting thing is, I thought women wanted men to be more herbivorous, a bit more open to that part of life, and not necessarily down that macho line!”
Elsewhere on the show, the set was left in chaos within seconds as Ben accidentally spilled his mug of tea, leading to some cheeky comments on X. One user wrote: “Spillage on aisle 4, spillage on aisle 4 *Brenda the cleaner rolls in with her mop*.”

Another joked: “Ben is human after all! Tea crisis in the #ThisMorning studios within seconds!” Ben went red-faced after the accident – and Cat wasn’t perfect either, as fans giggled over her mispronunciation throughout the show.
