I can't remember the last time I watched the show but OMG!!! A man with 10-15 kids in the same area and denying his paternity of all but 1; and a woman who has 2 men on the go, doesn't know who her DD's father is and the little girl calls them both "Daddy", are these people for real??

don't watch it but yes. Such people exist.

They're basically the same as go on jeremy kyle.

In america you've got ricki lake (or had, is she still going?) and jerry springer and the like.

I think it's revolting. To use people for entertainment. These people are basically offered up for an audience to laugh and sneer at. It's nothing to do with helping them with problems.

In fairness, if they wanted help they wouldn't be on the shows would they? They'd be seeing counsillors and therapists. They are there for the "minute of fame", I hope they find it's worth it.

Lots believe the shows will help ( have worked with families who've been on JK)

Yes they are for real.

They actually believe they are TV stars. That's why some go back a number of times.

If he is denying paternity I assume tax payers are providing for the 14 DCs
