In the new TLC show, Jodie Marsh is Making Babies, the 36-year-old is told by Ed – who has 106 children – that he is providing a service ‘because Prince Charming doesn’t come with a syringe’.
He says: “I’m a private sperm donor and I help people who cannot have children because they need a sperm cell and a bit of luck.
“Some women say to me, ‘I never grew up imaging a Prince Charming on a white horse with a syringe and I want the creation of my child to be a moment that I can remember as warm and intimate’.”
Ed claims he knows all but two of his children, and Jodie is clearly left shocked by his revelations.
She says: “These women want to be impregnated by him, my head is going to explode. I can’t understand this at the moment.
“Today has completely blown my mind, I just refuse to believe as a woman you’d ever be that desperate to sleep with a total stranger, to give you a baby.”
But Jodie later meets a couple who have used Ed’s services, and admits that she can see why some women would do it.
Jodie adds: “I can see he puts up a good argument why it’s nicer to have sex.”
