Man has 40 children by 20 women - says: 'I'll never stop because God says go forth and multiply'

Yeah, I know, it's the Daily Mail, but I just couldn't resist.

The divine directive to "Go Forth and Multiply" just tickled my funny bone.

- Mike Holpin, from Ebbw Vale in Monmouthshire, has at least 40 children.
- Can't name half of them and has family tree tattoo to help him remember
- Around 16 were taken into care 'because of my drinking and womanising'
- But 56-year-old wants more because he 'can't live without them'
- 'In the Bible, God says go forth and multiply. I'm doing what God wants'
- Holpin has not worked for a decade and said to receive £27,000 in benefits
- Documentary also shines light on 29-year-old father of 15 from Sunderland
