Good Morning Britain presenter Sean Fletcher’s latest task was a real labour of love as he was strapped to a machine that simulates childbirth.
Sean was hooked up to a machine with pads attached to his stomach which replicate labour pains and contractions associated with giving birth.
“I’ve been told you need a lot of carbs because it’s exhausting,” he said, munching on a health bar prior to starting.
“I think Sean is going to be shocked by the level and the intensity of the pain,” his wife, Luned, said.
“I don’t think any man really realises what it is and how painful it is, and you do feel like you’re about to die.”
As the machine pressure intensified, Sean looked visibly pained.
“That was really unpleasant,” he said after a “contraction”, adding “This is why I’m a man.”
Talking about the experience afterwards, he said it was “horrific”.
“It’s just the worst pain ever. To any blokes who don’t sympathise with their wives or partners, I’m serious, you need to.”
