'MY WIFE'S NOT HAPPY!'
Sperm donor, 62, who has fathered 66 kids by pleasuring himself in the back of his van, kept secret from his wife
Clive said he would keep donating for a 'little longer' after his wife found out he was a sperm donor
A WHITE van driver who has fathered 66 kids has revealed he kept his sperm donations a secret from his wife.
But Clive, 62, admitted he would continue to make "deliveries" to couples desperate for a child - despite his wife's disapproval on finding out.

Speaking to Good Morning Britain, the father said he was not a liar for not telling his wife about his donations, saying: "I'm not a liar.
"I just didn't tell her."
But while he confessed she was "not happy", he added: "I'm going to do it for a little longer because I have a number in mind of where I should finish."
He has previously said he hoped to father 100 children.

The former maths teacher's story comes after he allowed Channel 4 to film him for new documentary — Super Sperm Donors — as he travels around the UK in his van to deliver his donations.
He said that he would collect the sample in his van outside of a home - pulling down a blind - before knocking on a family's door to give them the donation.
While some may find his occupation odd, the Brit said he was determined to help families, telling GMB: "I see the joy that it brings.
"I'm not just talking about the mothers, there's the joy that it brings to the grandparents and the family."
BANK ON IT How does sperm donation in the UK work, do you get paid and how to find your nearest sperm bank?
If you donate your sperm through a fertility clinic or a sperm bank, you won’t have any responsibilities or rights towards a child conceived using your semen.
However, as of April 2005, children conceived through sperm donation do have the right to ask for certain information about their donor once they reach the age of 16.
When they turn 18 they can also request to know the name and last known address of their donor.
The main reason men choose to donate their sperm is to help couples who can’t conceive naturally, or if they have a strong desire to pass on their genes to another generation.
In the UK, donation in exchange for payment is prohibited by law.

He said most of the people he helped were same-sex couples who could not afford the expensive process of sperm donations through the official channels.
But he seemed unfazed when questioned over whether he would ever face claims to help support his children - or if he was trying to achieve a form of "immortality".
He said: "I pass on a bodily fluid, that's all it is to me."
He said that he did not expect to face child support bills, saying: ";Technically I am their father and technically that could happen.
"In practise, it doesn't."
On average he makes 16 donations a month but only a couple tend to lead to a pregnancy.

Clive, who has three children with his wife and nine grandchildren, refuses payment for his service — taking a fee would be illegal.
He said several of the families he had helped to conceive were part of a Facebook group to keep in contact, and to potentially mitigate the chance of their children meeting and getting together.
