A confused Jeremy Kyle asked why new mothers needed condoms this morning and was 'shamed' by a Scottish politician.
The stand-in Good Morning Britain host, who is covering for Piers Morgan for a second week, got a chat about the birds and the bees from Mark McDonald MSP, Scotland's Minister for Children and Early Years,
Jeremy asked why condoms were being put in baby boxes for Scottish mums, each of which will cost £160, which the government hopes will encourage safe sleeping and prevent cot death
But in an amazing response, Mr McDonald said he thought the presenter had done enough episodes of The Jeremy Kyle Show to understand "how the process works".

Jeremy asked: "Why are there condoms in a box given to new mothers?"
A confident Mr McDonald replied: "Well I would have thought you'd done enough episodes of The Jeremy Kyle Show by now Jeremy to understand how this process works."
"But there is an issue about getting an understanding for parents of the fact that a woman is exceptionally fertile postpartum and ensuring the parents are making the necessary precautions.

"Indeed the finished box includes condoms as well so we want to encourage and ensure that parents do not experience unexpected second pregnancies as a consequence of unsafe sex following the birth of a child, that is why there are condoms in the box."
A stunned Jeremy accepted the response, claiming the MSP was a "good lad" for making the joke about his show.
Jezza added: "Fair play Mark, absolutely fair play I'll say to him, absolutely."

Good Morning Britain viewers took to Twitter to mock Jeremy for his lack of contraception knowledge.
One viewer said: " #GMB Mark McDonald... thanks for shaming Jezza"
Another added: "Oh Jeremy, contraception is important after birth, it's so easy to get pregnant again quickly. @GMB #GMB "
A third said: "When's the #jeremykyle box out DNA test, lie Detector, teeth, toothbrush, chav shell suit and a bottle of white lightening #GMB "
