In conversation with Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy – as well as his own wife Hannah Cooper – for an episode of The Therapy Crouch, Joel Dommett spilled the beans on a bizarre bodily quirk of his.
The Crouches launched The Therapy Crouch in January 2023 and it quickly became a hit.
Joel and Hannah married each other in 2019. A year later, a doctor diagnosed her mum with a brain tumour. As a result, the couple have close ties to the UK charity Brain Tumour Support.
They make media appearances together fairly regularly. Sitting on the Crouch couch was the latest – and one of the more amusing.
Joel Dommett makes bizarre admission about nipple discharge
Early on in the podcast episode, which came out on January 7, 2025, Joel, Hannah, Peter and Abbey get to talking about breastfeeding.
Joel has previously opened up about how much baby poop he deals with. He and Hannah have a one-year-old son. Apparently, Joel rather enjoys cleaning it up.
Then Peter turns his attention to Joel, saying, “You can do something weird with your nipple, can’t you?”
“You can collect my colostrum,” Joel replies, responding to a comment that came up earlier in the conversation.
Abbey is, understandably, perturbed. She asks if he really produces colostrum, and prompts him for more information.
Colostrum, by the way, is the first breast milk produced by the mammary glands after giving birth. It’s thick and nutrient-dense, and often yellowish in colour. This changes to breast milk within a few days of childbirth, in the case of humans.
“Basically,” Joel says, “if I squeeze it, some stuff comes out. It’s not milk because I’ve tasted it and it’s salty.”
Gobsmacked, Abbey asks him why he would choose to taste it, when he could just smell it. Joel answers in the only way he knows how…
“If you’re a boy, if something comes out of your body, you’re tasting it,” he says. To which Hannah, laughing, responds: “How do I have a child with this human?”
The conclusion he’s come to, it appears, is that it is actually pus of some kind. Lovely…

He also made flat whites with Hannah’s breast milk
If your wife is breastfeeding and you don’t taste her breastmilk, according to Joel Dommett, you’re “insane”.
He says this during the podcast. Abbey then proceeds to tell Peter that if she ever breastfeeds – she’s bottle-fed their four children, apparently – she’ll make him taste her breastmilk.
Hannah reveals that Joel made flat whites with hers, while she was breastfeeding their son Wilde.
Abbey jokes about the idea of making latte art with a “nipple on top”.
Hannah says that while she was breastfeeding Wilde, she pumped and stored so much breastmilk that she and Joel had to “buy another freezer”.
All this and more…
