Davina condom storm
09/03/07
DAVINA McCall has been blasted by a family group for showing children how to use condoms in an explicit sex education programme.
The Big Brother presenter and Channel 4 have come under fire over the show Let’s Talk About Sex.
It features McCall, 39, travelling with four teenagers and two head teachers to a Dutch youth centre.
They watch as children as young as four are shown cartoons of sex acts and are taught about homosexuality. And mum-of-three Davina unrolls a condom over a prosthetic sex aid in front of the kids.
Channel 4 chiefs say the show highlights the link between bad sex education and the high number of teenage pregnancies in Britain.
But pressure group Family And Youth Concern says it is “misleading” and “dishonest”.
And members are furious it will be broadcast at 8pm, an hour before the watershed.
Spokesman Norman Wells said: “The explicit approach to sex education is not at all typical of Dutch schools, but represents the extreme end of a very broad spectrum.
“They omit to mention that in the years following the introduction of compulsory sex education classes in Dutch schools, teenage pregnancy rates went up rather than down.”
