'We're stumped'

Today Extra host David Campbell says he and wife Lisa are struggling to toilet train their twins Billy and Betty who turn three on January 12.

"Billy we're into our second week," he said this morning in response to an article about a mum who is looking to hire someone to toilet train her child for her.

"You take them as much as you can - you get a chocolate button if you go to the potty.

"Billy doesn't want a chocolate button so we're stumped."

He said before coming to work this morning both of the twins had an accidents, with Billy's effort resulting in the throwing away of a brand new pair of Bonds undies, leading newsreader Davina Smith to suggest he purchase cheaper underwear until toilet training is complete.

The potty training service can cost up to $90 an hour which makes it unaffordable for most families, leading Campbell to joke that if strapped for cash, he'd happily borrow the money for some toilet training help.

"I'd take out a lone folks, honestly."

The TV host and performer said with son Leo, seven, it took just three days.

"We bribed Leo with chocolate buttons, three days, toilet trained."
