'Loose Women' star Coleen Nolan taught Rixton guitarist Danny Wilkin how to put on a condom.
The 49-year-old TV star's 22-year-old son Jake Roche is the frontman of the pop band and she regularly dishes out sex education to him and the rest of the group and even gave detailed instructions of how to use the contraceptive device properly.
Danny told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She taught me to pinch the end and roll it down."
Jake - whose dad is Coleen's ex-husband, 'EastEnders' actor Shane Richie - added: "I send a text to my mum if I've got a problem. She's always there for me and my mates. I'm not embarrassed of her, she's great."
Their bandmate Charley Bagnall also relies on Coleen for advice about his love life, admitting: "I've gone to her with girlfriend problems, STI problems."
Although Coleen - who has another son, Shane Roche, from her marriage to Shane, and a daughter Ciara with her husband Ray Fensome - is very open-minded and honest when it comes to sex, Jake insists he and the rest of Rixton would be in big trouble if he ever took drugs.
Speaking about his mother's reaction would be if he dabbled in illegal substances, Jake said: "Mum would kill me. She panics if I accidentally take a paracetamol."
Danny Dyer is a "sensitive soul".
According to his daughter, Dani, the 'EastEnders' actor - who is known for his gritty roles in 'The Football Factory' and 'Mean Machine' - is nothing like his tough on-screen personas and often wells-up while watching girly teen movies.
She told The Sun newspaper: "He's a really sensitive soul. He always cries at films. We watched LOL with Miley Cyrus because I wanted to put it on.
"And then he had a little cry. And I know he's crying!"
The 18 year old - who has followed her famous father into the movie business - added that she even caught him bawling during the premiere of her debut film 'We Still Kill the Old Way' last month.
She said: "He was crying when the photos were being taken. He was really proud. When my name came up on the screen he burst out crying too."
The 36-year-old star also has a soft spot for animals and becomes emotional when he witnesses animal cruelty.
Dani explained: "He loves animals. If anything happens to them he finds it absolutely disgusting. He gets really upset."

The 26-year-old beauty confessed: "He loves it!
"He's a Labrador and they moult like whatever... I hoover him every time I get the hoover out, so like ten times a day. He's so clean."

The 45-year-old musician - who has also started making cheese in recent years - explained: "I've got a real thing about blowing my nose on towels,
"Yeah, it is disgusting but I can't help it.
"It's from when you come off stage and someone gives you a towel then you go back to a hotel and there are loads of towels, and I've become quite nonchalant about towels. And now I can't be trained not to do that!"
Ed Sheeran is launching his own record label.
The 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker has signed a deal with Warner to house his company and already has an idea who he wants to offer recording contracts to.
He said: "The door has now been opened. I've set up the label and I'm going to start signing people. It'll be an imprint that goes through Warner. But I'll get the rights back in about ten years.
"I've got my first signing in mind. I'm looking at people like me, who came through the singer-songwriter scene."
The 23-year-old star thinks he is in a "fortunate" position to be able to help new artists.
He told The Sun newspaper: "There are people on that scene who make me look terrible by just being so good. They haven't got the right platform.

"I can sit down with heads of radio stations and ask whether they'll play it on the radio.
"I'm in a really fortunate position to be able to break acts."
Ed decided to set up his own label after industry executives ignored him when he tried to push Passenger, who went on to have a global hit with 'Let Her Go'.
He said: "The first time I properly thought about it was when I took Passenger on tour for two years.
"I took him into my record company and played them the record but they didn't get it .
"Then I was too busy on my own stuff and I let it slide.

The 31-year-old actress - who plays Amelia in the sci-fi film - has revealed she usually nitpicks her performance in movies but didn't want to in the case of 'Interstellar'.
She told Access Hollywood: "I'm really proud to be in this one. Sometimes when you make a film, you watch yourself and you just you want to nitpick.
"You wanna say - and it's constructive criticism - I think it's a good thing to do, but at the end of this movie I couldn't do that because I didn't want to."
She added: "I didn't want to go to the part of my brain that says, 'Ok, well maybe you could have been better or you could have done this differently.

Meanwhile, the actress revealed that her father was a fan of the movie.
She explained: "My dad said it was the greatest cinematic experience of his life and I would agree with that.

Actors on set of Angelina Jolie's 'Louis Zamperini' have revealed that the violent scenes made them throw up and cry.
Japanese pop star Miyavi, who plays sergeant Matsuhiro Watanabe in the film, admitted that one scene in particular where he brutally beats Louis, played by Jack O'Connell, made him nauseous.
He told Vanity Fair magazine: "It was awful torture for me to hate the other actors - I had to have hatred for them.
"When I had to beat them, I had to think about protecting my family. At the same time, I didn't want to be just a bad guy. I wanted to put humanity in this role."
He added: "[Matsuhiro] was both crazy and sadistic, but also weak and traumatized."
Miyavi - whose real name is Takamasa Ishihara - also admitted that the 39-year-old actress and director was very "persuasive" when it came to asking him to take on the role.
He said: "It's a story that is still painful for my country.
"But she told me she wanted to make a bridge between all countries that had conflict. She was very persuasive."
Meanwhile, Angelina spoke up about the man on which the film was based, who she showed an early cut of the film to before he died aged 97 in July this year.
She said: "I was more emotional than he was. I went in to take care of him - and he was taking care of me.
"It was an extremely moving experience, to watch someone watching their own life. Someone so physically strong ... and they are at the stage where their body is giving up."
Pippa Middleton is reportedly set to become a correspondent on 'Today'.
The 31-year-old beauty - who is the younger sister of Britain's Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge - is said to be close to being offered a job by US TV network NBC after her interview with host Matt Lauer earlier this year proved a hit with viewers.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's PageSix: "'Today' has been doing a test piece with Pippa in Utah, and if it works out well - and it looks like it will - they will hire her as a correspondent."
Shortly after her interview with Matt in June, it was reported that Pippa - who is a party planner and writer - would be presenting special segments on issues such as lifestyle and health, rather than the British royals.
An insider said at the time: "NBC, along with all the major networks, has been trying to sign Pippa for some time."
However, a representative for NBC denied Pippa would be restricted to those subjects, saying: "This is 100 per cent not true and it seems anyone suggesting otherwise is 'royally' jealous."

Rumours about the singer's sexuality have circulated since the band first rose to prominence in 2010, although he has previously denied that he is bisexual.
In an interview in 2013, Harry said: "Bisexual? Me? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I'm not,"

The 'X Factor' judge revealed earlier this week that her husband of seven years, Stephen Belafonte had treated her to a brand new £20,000 wedding ring, but she claims she won't be getting him anything in return.

When asked who she'd "snog, marry or avoid" out of her fellow 'X Factor' judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Louis Walsh, she said: "Well, I just got a new blinger [points to ring] so I won't be snogging anybody apart from my husband. I think at least I owe him that."
Mel - who also has daughters Angel and Phoenix Chi from previous relationships - went on to say that while she's enjoying her time on 'The X Factor', she doesn't feel the need to monitor what people are saying about her on Twitter.
She explained: "I've got better things to do like look after my four kids and cater to my husband."
