However, others found her chat a bit uncomfortable – and thought Tim and Simon didn’t look particularly at ease.

Jenny talked to the hosts about menopause for a while – even joking she was talking for them because she had a lot more to say on the subject than they did.

They then had to cut her off for a cooking segment.

When they came back to her and she continued to talk about her experiences  and read out an extract of her book.

Of those watching at home, many thanked her for talking so openly and honestly about her experiences.

However, others watching from their sofas weren’t so impressed.

One even called the interview “sheer agony” and another wasn’t happy with them for cutting a cooking segment short to return to Jenny.
