‘Deadbeat dad’ has 40 kids by 20 different women — and can’t remember all of their names

RECOVERING alcoholic Mike Holpin has at least 40 children by 20 different women — but can’t remember their names.‘Deadbeat dad’ ... Mike Holpin, 56, has at least 40 children by 20 different women. PictuMike Holpin

With 22 kids that carry his surname, 18 who don’t and “probably a few more” out there, the 56-year-old keeps track of his offspring by tattooing their names across his back.


“I’m as fertile as sin,” said the serial dad, whose kids are aged between three and 37. “I don’t believe in contraception and I love sex.”

Dubbed “Britain’s most feckless father”, Holpin insists he loves all his children even though some don’t talk to him and most were removed by children’s services.

“Due to my drinking and my womanising, most of my kids have gone through the care system,” Holpin, who has been sober for five years, told Channel 5’s 40 Kids by 20 Women

“It makes me feel like s**t because they’ve suffered. They [social services] took them from me because I’m an alcoholic.”

Holpin said losing his kids has been his biggest regret and he wants to reunite his huge brood.
“When they went into care, I made a promise that no matter how long it took, I will get my kids home,” he said.

“I miss all the fun we used to have so I guess getting them back, my life will be set. My life will be perfect.”

But that’s not all — the baby-maker wants even more children with his fiancee Diane.
“I’m only 56. I’ll never stop [having children]. Never stop. In the Bible, God says go forth and multiply. I’m doing what God wants,” Holpin said.

Since his first sexual experience aged nine, Holpin has had a plethora girlfriends but only six serious relationships.

He said his first children were born in his late teens when he worked at a fairground.
“Boys working on rides like that, they’re only there for one reason and that’s to pull women. Good looking boys are better but funny boys are spectacular,” he said.

“You have to do some manoeuvring but me, I thought, I just want sex. I’d pat them on the rump and if they say f**k off then they’re not really up for it. If they say yes, then great.”
