"I left the brilliant @d_a_n_jones to get his hands dirty whilst I’ve been on the side-lines as a very entertained voyeur. Although perhaps shocking at times, #SexABonkersHistory is a truly fascinating & intellectual insight into our sexual history of the last 2500 years. This is horrible histories for grown-ups."

The show, with Dan Jones, covers the history of sex from Egyptian forms of contraception to swinging in Britain in the 1970s.

It will air on Sky History.
