During a BBC interview, he said: “Usually one
[baby] a week pops out. I reckon I’ve got
about 800 so far, so within four years I’d like
to crack 1,000. I’ve got kids all the way from
Spain to Taiwan, so many countries. I’d like
to get the world record ever, make sure no-
one’s going to break it, get as many as
possible.”

more than 10 children. Watson charges £50
