A retired teacher who says he is the 'world's most prolific sperm donor' has claimed to have fathered 129 children during the last nine years.

Clive Jones, 66, who lives in Chaddesden, Derby, has been donating his sperm from his van for nearly ten years and says he has another nine children currently on the way, reports Daily Mail.

Jones, who is originally from Burton, was unable to become an official sperm donor as he only started donating aged 58, while banks have an upper donor age limit of 45.

But health experts have warned against his actions, saying that all donors and patients should be treated at a licensed UK clinic.

“I'm probably the world's most prolific sperm donor with now being at 138 'babies', well, 129 babies born, nine ongoing pregnancies. I might continue for another few years. Get to 150 anyway,” he told Derbyshire Live.

Jones began donating sperm for free through Facebook because of the "happiness" it brings to families.

“As the regulator of UK fertility treatment and research we don't have the powers to stop people from making their own arrangements for sperm donation but we do want to help them get the information and advice they need to make the best informed choices, which is why we always encourage both donors and patients to be treated at a licensed UK clinic,” a spokeswoman for the authority said.
