Matthew Wright pleads with This Morning hosts to 'stop going on about his age'

Guest of This Morning Matthew Wright pleaded with hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary to stop mentioning his age on today's show.

Matthew gave his input as he said: "I'm always interested in the sexual performance statistics.

"They say your fertility as a male declines from the age of 18, on a permanent downward spiral. And I guess if that's what's happening with your fertility, I used to think the same was probably happening to our noggins.

"I suspect I'm right on the cusp at the moment."

Alison replied: "Well you've got four years left before it's downhill darling... four years."

Matthew laughed as he corrected her and said: "three and a half!"

Alison went on to explain about a new Disney town for over 55's as Gyles had a quick outfit change into a Mickey Mouse themed jumper.

He excitedly told the hosts about Disney's new plans as he said: "I can't wait, I've sent off an application already."

Alison replied: "Unfortunately, I'm not old enough. But Matthew - you are."

Matthew laughed as he said: "Stop going on about my age!"

Alison and Dermot burst out in laughter as Matthew added: "I can't think of anything worse."
