During the bizarre interview host Phillip Schofield has to hold back laughter as her asks about Amanda Rodgers' life in the bedroom

200 guests went to Amanda Rodgers' wedding in Croatia, but these nuptials had a twist: Amanda said "I do" to her pet dog Sheba.

Back on UK soil, Amanda went on ITV's This Morning to explain her actions to hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

The 46-year-old divorcee (of a human) claimed that this relationship was "meant to be".

When quizzed if it was love at first sight, Amanda said: "She was two weeks old and she was new to the world - but I fell in love with her. I knew that we were meant to be."

Schofield said: "It's a big step to go from caring for your dog to marrying it - why did you get there?"

The puppy dog eyes must have won her over. She replied: "Yeah, I suppose you're right... there are different kinds of love - my love for Sheba is very deep. We have a deep connection."

And it turns out that Amanda wants to see a man, the dog has to agree. "Men don't come anywhere near the bedroom unless she agrees... One time I made a man sleep in the dog bed for a whole week."
