Man with 'world's longest tongue' shows off unusual talent on ITV's This Morning

A man with the "world's longest tongue" appeared on Monday's instalment of This Morning on ITV.

Nick Stoeberl, from Salinas, California, is the Guinness World Record holder for the longest tongue, with his measuring in at almost four inches long. He joined Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield in the studio to discuss his unusual feature.

Nick explained he can even use his tongue to paint portraits, before unveiling one he had done of Holly and Phil.

He said one of the benefits of his long tongue is how "easy it is to make friends". Nick added: "People always want to talk to me, people always introduce other people to me as the guy with the longest tongue. Socially, it's quite useful".

Holly said: "You can obviously lick your nose, you can lick your elbow?" Nick replied: "Yeah any food on the elbow, it's gone".

Taking to Twitter, Sara said: "My son can lick his nose and his elbow. His tongue isn’t anywhere near as long as that bloke’s though", while @BigFishermanC said: "Tbh I would’ve expected the longest tongue in the world to be longer than his" [sic].

Sharon said: "I wonder if there's someone out there with a bigger tongue who has just kept it to themselves".

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITVX
