40 Children By 20 Women: Meet The Man Who Insists 'God Says Go Forth & Multiply'

Unemployed former fairground operator, Mike Holpin, of south Wales, has has boasted about having 40 children by 20 women. He has children aged between three and 37 but says he has so many he would not recognise all of them. Despite this, the 56-year-old said: 

"Oh God yes, of course I do. I'm only 56. I'd never stop, I'd never stop. In the Bible God says go forth and multiply - I'm doing what God wants. I'm as fertile as sin, I don't believe in contraception and I love sex. I've got 22 kids that carry my name and there's about 18 - probably a few more - that don't."

Mr Holpin has been married three times and lives with his fiancee Diane and two of his children in Cwm, near Ebbw Vale.

He told Channel 5 he once used one of his baby sons to attract new girlfriends.

"Due to my drinking and my womanising, most of my kids have gone through the care system and it makes me feel like s*** because they've suffered. They took them from me because I am an alcoholic - I'm still an alcoholic, it's just I don't practise it." 

"When they went into care, I made a promise that no matter how long it took, I will get my kids home. I miss all the fun we used to have so I guess getting them back, my life will be set. My life will be perfect. A lot of people turned their back on me. When they went into care I made a promise: no matter how long it took, I will get my kids home."  

"I've got so much love in me for my kids, it's spilling over. I need them more than they need me to be honest. I can't be without them. I can't make up for what I've done. Its not that I am a babe magnet, I've got a hell of a sense of humour and I've got a personality." 

Mr Holpin, says most of his children have been removed by social services due to his drinking and womanizing. And he admitted getting £27,000 (N7.8m ) a year in benefits.
