Male TV hosts 'experience childbirth'

Two male TV hosts ended up screaming in agony after agreeing to experience the pains of childbirth.

Dennis Storm and Valerio Zeno allowed nurses to strap electrode emitting machines to their abdomens for their show, Guinea Pigs, in Holland.

The shocks cause stomach cramps which simulate the excruciating contractions felt during childbirth.

"Do you think the pain will make us scream," Zeno asked one of the nurses before the shocks began. "Yes, it definitely will," the nurse replied.

And the pair were soon groaning, screaming and curling up into the foetal position from the pain.

Storm and Zeno endured two hours of the shocks before calling it a day and comparing the experience to torture.
