SHOCKED viewers blasted ITV last night for screening pensioners simulating sex live on daytime telly. Sprightly Brian Yearn, 65, and wife Trish, 63, went through a variety of positions on This Morning. Hosts Philip Schofield and Ruth Langsford fought back hysterics as the couple in pyjamas demonstrated techniques on a bed.
?Sexpert? Donna Dawson suggested ways they would be comfortable despite various ailments. Brian even boasted that he and Trish made love SIX TIMES a week ? despite him having three strokes and a cancer op and his wife suffering from severe arthritis. He said: ?I?m very proud of my stamina. I enjoy having sex very much.? Trish added: ?I think it?s really a case of mind over matter. If you physically want to do it, then you will do it.?
It was part of a week of sex-themed segments on This Morning. But both ITV and The Sun were bombarded with complaints. Regular viewer Debra Stiles, 45, said: ?I was shocked. I know they were trying to make a serious point but the scenes were pretty graphic for daytime.?
