ITV's 'This Morning' is set to test a facial made of semen live on air.
The "exciting new facial" follows a live vasectomy, as well as a '50 Shades of Grey'-inspired bondage lesson, and producers are searching for volunteers to bring samples of their partner's semen into the studio and then rub it all over their faces while on air.
Some experts believe human sperm is a powerful anti-oxidant that reduces wrinkles, and a Norwegian firm sells semen as a skincare range so 'This Morning' bosses now want agents to find UK participants to try it.
Producers emailed agents: "It involves using their partner's semen, so we'd need them to bring a sample."
Ofcom this week cleared the show, hosted by Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden, after 120 people complained about a 'Fifty Shades of Grey'-inspired bondage feature.
But ITV defended the facial idea, which is set to air on Monday (27.04.15), saying: "The team speak with a huge number of possible contributors each day."
The same episode of 'This Morning' will also feature TV personalty Davina McCall giving advice on how to stay focused and fit ahead of summer.

'MasterChef' contestant Tony Rodd is frequently compared to Mr. Monopoly.
The 33-year-old star of BBC's 'MasterChef' has been told he looks like the man on the box of the family board game, Rich Uncle Pennybags, because he has a moustache, round glasses and wears bow ties like the icon for the game.
He told The Sun newspaper: "There's been the odd comment that's been rude but 98 per cent of it has been supportive and lots have been funny - they've compared me to the Monopoly guy or the Pringles tube man."
The comparison has gathered pace via social media, with many online users taking to their Twitter accounts to comment on the likeness between Tony and Mr. Monopoly.
One fan posted a picture of her puppy in a bow tie with the message: "Hendricks the french bulldog is showing his firm support of @TonyRoddUK by sporting this little bow tie! #masterchef (sic)"
Tony - who is a recruitment consultant - is conscious of the online obsession with his looks, and admitted: "I've seen photos of children who have dressed up as me by sticking on moustaches and putting on bow ties."

Louis Theroux is to have a documentary made about him by scientologists.
The 44-year-old documentary-maker is to be the subject of a new film and has acknowledged he's anxious about having the camera turned on him.
Louis posted on Twitter: "Just been informed by Scientology lawyers that Scientology is working on a documentary about me. Little bit excited; little bit nervous."
Louis - who's made documentaries about a wide range of personalities and social groups, including survivalists, black nationalists and white supremacists - is surprised people seem more interested in the documentary about him than his own work about scientology.
He posted an open-ended question on Twitter: "People more excited to see Scientology's doc about me than my doc about Scn. Maybe I should have just made a doc about myself? (sic)"
Louis began mentioning the documentary last year, when he asked scientologists to get involved with the documentary called 'Stairway to Heaven: Louis Theroux and the Church of Scientology'.
His post read: "Open call to any #Scientologists out there. I would love to speak to you for a documentary I am working on. About Scientology."
Although there is no official release date, it's expected the film will be released later this year.

'Celebrity Big Brother' star Big Ang has been diagnosed with cancer.
The TV personality - who first found fame on US reality show 'Mob Wives' - had been signed up for the eagerly-awaited 'Celebrity Big Brother's UK vs USA' this summer, but Ang's health troubles have thrown those plans into chaos.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Big Ang pulling out is a huge blow. She would have been a great housemate. Producers are scrambling to find a replacement."
The feisty American - whose real name is Angela Raiola - had to withdraw from the show after undergoing surgery earlier this month to remove a tumour the size of a lemon from her throat.
Ang established her reputation on 'Mob Wives' - the TV show about women who are related to gangsters - thanks to her raspy voice, big lips and even bigger boobs.
Subsequently, she was given her own spin-off series on VH1, called 'Big Ang.'
Meanwhile, it was revealed earlier this month that US model and former 'America's Next Top Model' judge Janice Dickinson was the first to sign up for the new series of 'Celebrity Big Brother' in August, on a £300,000 deal.

'Top Gear' boss Andy Wilman has resigned.
The 52-year-old executive producer has quit the show after his close friend, presenter Jeremy Clarkson, was axed from the series last month following a fracas with producer Oisin Tymon.
It was first reported Andy was planning to quit the show in March after an email he sent to staff recalling fond memories of his time on the programme was made public, although he denied the rumour at the time.
In the message he wrote: "We had a lot of laughs, we had a lot of tiffs. We went to amazing places and we went to some s***holes.
"We nearly killed a presenter, we had to run for the border. We started off with whoever we could get in the Reasonably Priced Car and ended up with Tom Cruise."
A spokesperson for the BBC has since confirmed that Andy has handed in his resignation.
Meanwhile, Jeremy's co-star James May recently spoke out about his friend's exit and insists 'Top Gear' without Jeremy, 55, just "wouldn't work".
James, 52, who also stars on the show with Richard Hammond, thinks it's "virtually impossible" for someone to do a good job of replacing his former co-host.
He said: "Me and (Richard) Hammond with a surrogate Jeremy is a non-starter, it just wouldn't work ... it has to be the three of us. I don't think you could carry on with two people and put someone in as the new Jeremy because they are not going to be the new Jeremy. That would be short sighted and I don't think it would work. Virtually impossible."

Ed Sheeran performed his "tasty dance" on MTV show 'Brothers Green: EATS!' after snacking on haggis quesadillas.
The 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker joined Mark and Josh Greenfield and fellow guest David Hasselhoff on the pair's upcoming TV series and Ed couldn't resist busting some moves after trying the Scottish-inspired meal.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, Mark revealed: "Ed was definitely confused when we were cooking for him. He was reluctant - but then you start making it - and once he tasted it he did this dance, saying, 'This is my tasty dance.' "
Josh added: "But in the end he was calling people over saying, 'You've got to try this.' "
The Hoff dressed as William Wallace - Mel Gibson's character in 'Braveheart' - for the culinary experience.
Mark revealed: "Hasselhoff was dressed as William Wallace - so he was like 'Braveheart!'. He was really enthusiastic."
Ed also performed his hit single 'Sing' with a backing band of bagpie players on the show which was a thrill for the brothers.
Josh said: "Ed did a performance with bagpipe players backing him on his song 'Sing'. You can tell when he is playing music that is his happy place and it seems like food is second."
Mark added "Ed is really humble and chill and kind of quiet. It's cool to see he is one of the biggest artists in the world. "
'Brothers Green: EATS!' is to air weekly at 9pm on MTV from Tuesday April 28.

Alan Halsall can't imagine leaving 'Coronation Street'.
The 32-year-old actor joined the soap as Tyrone Dobbs 17 years ago and still finds the show a "challenge" with every new storyline.
Asked if he can see himself not being in 'Corrie', he said: "I wouldn't like to think so. I am challenged there all the time. I had the brilliant domestic abuse storyline the other year."
Alan has particularly fond memories of working with Elizabeth Dawn and the late Bill Tarmey - who played Vera and Jack Duckworth - but their improvisation skills meant he was occasionally edited out of scenes because they made him laugh so much.
Speaking to OK! magazine, he recalled: "They were legends. Samia (Smith) and I once had to be cut from a scene as we just couldn't stop laughing when Liz was battering Bill with some washing.
"It wasn't scripted - it was supposed to be a little rant, but Vera battered Jack with the washing and then threw the basket at him. Samia and I just exploded with laughter."
Alan - who is married to Lucy-Jo Hudson - was devastated when Bill left the show.
He said: "When he left they were some of the hardest scenes I had ever had to film. It was like saying goodbye to him. As soon as they shouted 'cut', I was hone. It was one of the few times in my life that I couldn't stop crying."

Charlotte Hawkins admitted motherhood had been like a "whirlwind" when she visited 'Good Morning Britain' with her new baby daughter Ella Rose.
The 39-year-old TV presenter has been off the show on maternity leave after giving birth in March, but she took the tot in to meet her co-workers live on the ITV show this morning (23.04.15).
Speaking about little Ella Rose, Charlotte said: "It's a whirlwind, it's like a mini tornado hits isn't it, as soon as you have a baby, and it is extremely full, the first few weeks, it's starting to calm down now a bit because she's started to get into some sort of routine but to begin with it's just crazy and nothing prepares you for it."
Charlotte also admitted she thought the early mornings she'd endured in order to present the breakfast TV show would mean she was prepared for the lack of sleep she'd get once the baby arrived, but that hasn't been the case.
Speaking to Susanna Reid, Charlotte said: "Well I thought because of the job that we do and I'm used to getting up in the middle of the night, not getting that much sleep so I thought I'd be quite used to that but turns out no.
"This is sleeplessness on a whole new level because of course you're waking up every couple of hours, even when you are asleep you're on high alert and even when they're asleep you're checking them, going, 'Are they breathing, are they still moving?' "

Eleanor Tomlinson thinks it's "ridiculous" that people have criticized Aidan Turner's scything technique in 'Poldark'.
The 22-year-old actress was shocked when she discovered her co-star's crop gathering skills were cut down by scything experts for not being realistic enough and insists he's a "brilliant actor".
Eleanor said: "I don't care [about Aidan's scything technique]. I think it's ridiculous, I really do. I don't think any of us are looking at his scything, to be honest with you.
"He's a brilliant actor. He's very generous as a performer, which is great to work off of. And obviously, we get along very well."
For her role as Demelza Poldark, London-born Eleanor had to master a Cornish accent and she admits speaking with a South West twang was a "challenge".
In an interview on 'Lorraine', she said: "It is a challenge, but I think as well when something is so iconically Cornish, I wanted to get it right. So I spent a lot of time with voice and accent coaches, and I worked very hard at it."
Eleanor will next be seen in 'Alleycats' alongside John Hannah, a big screen thriller set in the world of illegal bike racing and she was keen to land the part to show her versatility as an actress.
She said: "I've done a lot of period drama and I wanted to show a different string to my bow. John Hannah is lovely, he's a great actor as well. So yeah, it's very different and it's a great challenge and we've just finished filming."
