TV show competition to father child

A CONTROVERSIAL TV show could see a thousand men compete for the chance to father a child, with one idea certain to spark anger being a televised sperm race.

Make Me a Mum is the brainchild of independent TV company Brighter Pictures - whose parent company, Endemol, makes Big Brother. Men who want to father a child will be whittled down during the series, until two candidates are selected to compete against each other.

The childless woman will chose the man she believes makes the best father - judged by sex appeal, personality, wealth and fitness.
