Celebrity Save Our Sperm on Channel 4 shows Russell Kane, Ollie Locke and Melvin Odoom undergo treatment to help save their sperm count. Amid the show, an expert lists how men can improve their fertility
When it comes to fertility, the onus often falls on women when a couple struggle to conceive. But a new, fascinating Channel 4 show is set to raise eyebrows as experts say a ‘spermageddon’ is on its way – with men set to be infertile by 2045.’
Three famous faces have opened up about their own reproductive health in the show – Celebrity Save Our Sperm – including comedian Russell Kane, Made in Chelsea’s Ollie Locke and Radio 1’s Melvin Odoom and receive treatments in a bid to improve their fertility.
Russell, who is set to try for another baby with wife Lindsey, reveals he has quit saunas and tight jeans after learning about how heat can seriously damage sperm, with his count hitting a low 11million, compared to the national average of 40 to 60million.
Meanwhile, Melvin almost trebles his sperm count after cutting out sugary snacks and keeping his testicles cool with a mini ice pack while working in the Radio 1 studio. Ollie, who is expecting twins with his husband Gareth via surrogate, is also shown to reduce his alcohol and junk food intake to improve his sperm status.
