UNBELIEVABLE: Caught with a husband and a boyfriend just from a slip-up on This Morning, causing chaos backstage and leaving UK viewers speechless!

This Morning fans sunk their claws into a guest who opened up about having a husband and boyfriend on Wednesday’s episode of the ITV show.

Deepa Paul joined Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shepherd, 50, on the iconic sofa to talk about her unconventional relationship, as well as her memoir Ask Me How It Works, which explores it.

The author explained that a lot of people ask how her relationship works and that is how she got on to write her own book about it.

Deepa – who had affairs outside of her marriage before getting a boyfriend – has been married for 17 years, has been a mother for 12 and for the last five years has been in a relationship with her boyfriend.

She told the hosts: ‘I always felt I was at odds with the way people saw relationships  and pleasure and desire.

‘Then I moved to Amsterdam. It was the hinge point. It’s a very liberal city. I saw the way people experience relationships, but also pleasure, and I wanted to try it all!

Deepa Paul joined Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shepherd, 50, on the iconic sofa to talk about her unconventional relationship, as well as her memoir Ask Me How It Works, which explores it

‘So in the beginning, I explored on my own and that wasn’t really working.’

Ben was keen to know if she had felt any guilt about having her extra-marital affairs, to which Deepa said: ‘I remember feeling guilty and ashamed about how I was and all these things I was curious about.

‘I wondered if I was too much?

‘But then what I learnt was I can ask what I believe I deserve, you don’t have to hide it. You can be upfront and honest with the person you love and trust they will accept you.

‘And in the beginning it wasn’t smooth sailing, stepping out of the bounds of a traditional relationship, it’s a process.’

The presenters asked how she broached the subject and also wanted to know how her husband found out about her affairs.

‘The affairs came out on their own, one affair, I’d explored online with answering ads on a personal site, to find out about all these things I was curious about,’ Deepa explained.

‘When all of that came out into the open, it was a real hinge point.

‘There was a lot of trust that had to be rebuilt.

‘We really sat down and had a “come to Jesus convo” about what do I want out of a marriage, what do you want out of a marriage?’

Cat was keen to know what her husband’s initial reaction was and Deepa said: ‘Well when I first brought up the idea of things I wanted to try that I was reading about, he was against it.

‘Decent people don’t do these things. Married people don’t do these things.

‘I’ve always seen marriage as an adventure. As a team undertaking. I want to go on these adventures with you.

‘Is there some way I can do that together.

‘Polyamory wasn’t on the cards at the start… but now it’s an option for most people that exists.’

Deepa’s husband and boyfriend do encounter each other at social situations, have mutual ‘respect,’ but she knows that she can’t expect them to be mates.

Ben asked if there is any jealousy, to which Deepa explained: ‘There’s envy. Envy is wishing maybe sometimes what one has, what the other has.

‘I have a wonderful domestic life and am fully available to my family.

‘Maybe my boyfriend envies that. But my husband envies the spontaneity that I have with my boyfriend.’

Deepa’s husband doesn’t have a girlfriend, and her boyfriend also doesn’t have another girlfriend.

‘So you’re the only one that is having the cake and eating it?’ Ben asked.

Deepa’s daughter also knows about her relationship with her boyfriend and how she stays at his once a week for a ‘sleepover’.

The author also knows that she will have to end her relationship with her boyfriend when he wants to start a family because she can’t give him what he wants.

Many took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.

One said: ‘Sorry but this woman is horrible and selfish in my humble opinion.’

‘#ThisMorning Why bother getting married in the first place?’

‘This woman is a narcissist, even putting herself before her child #thismorning’

‘I hope her husband works from home or he’s gonna be a laughing stock, she obviously doesn’t give a s**t.’

Another wrote on YouTube comments section: ‘One word .. selfish selfish selfish!!’

But others disagreed on the internet.

One wrote on X: ‘Everyone is so butthurt on here. Live and let live. She seems happy. Her husband, can leave her if he’s not. #thismorning.’

‘Cue all men that cant cope with a woman doing what large portion of men do their wives everyday by hurling insults.’
