Hose connector for a standard kitchen tap?

Hello all,
I am hoping that someone will be able to help me. I have tried a few different connectors to attach my garden hose to my kitchen tap.
Unfortunately, I still haven't found one that doesnt shoot off at great speed when the tap is running, turning my kitchen into an indoor swimming pool...
I have attached a photograph of the tricky tap in question.
Many thanks for any help!

If you can get at the cold water pipe under the sink, it's easy to fit one of these:

assuming you have standard 15mm copper water pipe.
Then you just attach a 3/4" hose connector to it:

and add one of these to the end of your hosepipe:

Cheaper own brands versions available, this one about £10
