A man who claims to have fathered 67 children across the UK by donating sperm from the back of his van has told BBC Radio Stoke he hid what he did from his wife for several years.

Clive Jones, 62, from Staffordshire, has been an unlicensed sperm donor for five years and says he doesn't charge families a penny.

He told BBC Radio Stoke he started because he felt for people who struggled to have a child and meets most of his clients on Facebook.

Very few women are eligible for artificial insemination on the NHS as the criteria are very strict. Private licensed clinics cost between £500 and £1,000 for each cycle of treatment. Men are allowed to father no more than 10 children.

Mr Jones says he provides STD test results but fertility charities warn women using such services they are putting themselves at risk of sexual and hereditary diseases.

The quality of early help services has improved since the department was rated inadequate in 2016.
