Channel 4 show about man with 10-stone testicles scores high in the ratings

A show about a man with 10-stone testicles has been a huge ratings winner.

'The Man with the 10-stone Testicles' – which told the story of Wesley Warren Jr, who spent five years living with scrotal elephantiasis, meaning his genitals are enlarged to massive size – attracted 3.9 million viewers on Channel 4, a 16.9 per cent share of the audience at that time of the evening.

The programme was also a huge hit on social networking sites as people flocked to discuss Wesley's condition.

One wrote: "Glad he isn’t suffering anymore but yeah… That’s gross."

Another tweeted: "Anyone who watch it not have nightmares?"

One posted: "This is crazy. Feel so sorry for this guy! Big up to the 10-stone testicle man!"

Wesley's testicles were so big he had to wear a hoodie around his private parts to store his scrotum in when he was out and about.
