Piers Morgan experienced the feeling of labour pains through a simulation machine on Good Morning Britain today. The presenter, 54. who has previously admitted that he suffered during the birth of his daughter, was put to the test as he was attached to a TENS machine. 'It's a tough old ordeal for men, too,' he told co-star Susanna Reid, before undergoing the experiment. 'It's the constant ferrying of coffee, papers, magazine, and making all the calls.' 'I became perilously close to missing a big Arsenal European game. I had to negotiate it and ended up watching it in the delivery room.' The segment of the show asked whether men suffer in silence during their partner's labour and whether they can stand the real pain of childbirth. But as the electrical impulses started, it wasn't long before the father-of-four was gritting his teeth, screaming, and begging for the 'agony' to stop.

'You send electrical impulses to those patches,' explained Susanna. 'Around the 50-60 mark is similar to the beginning of childbirth, or the first contractions.' And viewers were left in hysterics when the presenter yelped out and asked 'woah what number is that?' - before being told it was 'zero.' Starting at twenty, he let out a yelp and admitted 'that's already uncomfortable,' before being reminded by Susanna: 'Remember, you have to stay at home during this period of time, you're not even allowed to go into hospital.' Standing up in a desperate bid to ease the pain, Piers screamed in agony, before declaring the pain 'torture' Stefan (left), a scientist from the Netherlands, had attached four sticky pads to Piers' stomach which were hooked up to the machine The panel and viewers alike were left in hysterics when the presenter 'woah what number is that?' - before being told it was 'zero' Piers Morgan experienced the feeling of labour pains through a simulation machine on Good Morning Britain today (pictured) Following the experiment, Piers admitted that it 'put everything into perspective.' He joked: 'If every man did that for five minutes, we'd never joke about childbirth ever again' With the pain getting too much, Piers decided to stand up but as the strength of the impulses were notched up to forty, he screamed, before joking: 'I've got to dig deep and man up!' And by the time the gadget had increased to sixty to replicate the beginning of childbirth, Piers couldn't take any more and shouted: 'that's enough.' Kate Garraway, who watched the experiment from the back of the set came running on and explained to Piers how '65 is the early level of contractions before a woman is given gas and air'. 'Would you like to apologise?' Susanna asked.

Pictured, the presented gritted his teeth through the pain The father-of-four who previously admitted that he suffered during the birth of his daughter, soon changed his mind after experiencing the pain of childbirth 'On balance, the women of Great Britain, I probably owe you a slight apology,' he admitted. 'I'm very glad we don't have to go through this.' 'I've got to say that was agony. If that's what you honestly go through, my respect for women, in terms of childbirth, has gone through the roof.' He added: 'That was painful. I'm never again going to make any comment about childbirth. That was absolute torture.' 'If every man did that for five minutes, we'd never joke about childbirth ever again. it was absolute agony. That's put things into proper perspective.' The presenters were also joined by Real housewives of Cheshire star and mother-of-three Leanne Brown for today's show, who argued that any man suffering doesn't compare remotely. 'You're never going to understand what a woman goes through,' said Leanne, arguing that childbirth pain isn't incomparable.

That was absolute torture' 'Not even just the amount of hours she's in labour, but from the minute they find out they're pregnant.' 'Their hormones, their everything, they can lose their hair, their body. And the majority of men going in labour go to pieces - it's down to education and education and they've obviously not done their homework about what they're about to experience.' Meanwhile, founder of Dad's Net Al Ferguson agreed with Piers' initial view and claimed that men do suffer during childbirth - however, he did not experience the machine. 'It's a joint thing,' he said. 'Dads are also going through it. Dads also have those emotions. There are a change of hormones.

With many men - not all - but many, downplaying the trauma of childbirth on the female body, who better to try it out on behalf of all men than our Piers? The 54-year-old breakfast TV host had the pleasure of experiencing the joys of a 'labour simulator', or a TENS machine as they're otherwise known. The machine emits electric pulses through the body and is used by woman during labour. Advert 10 How painful is childbirth? @piersmorgan finds out the hard way! :persevere: C'mon Piers! You can do it! #PushPiersPush pic.twitter.com/RnsZ2WXKAl - Good Morning Britain (@GMB) May 8, 2019 However, the pain women go through for the miracle of life didn't go down too well with Piers, and obviously, it was incredibly satisfying viewing. Some may argue that Piers can sometimes come across as a bit of a drama queen. Remember that time he theatrically 'vomited' up a vegan sausage roll? A few seconds in to the simulation, when most women are still at home being told to have a warm bath, Piers was visibly in pain - moaning to himself: "Do not give in." Advert 10 The operator of the machine, who Piers referred to as a 'torturer', ramped it up slightly. He couldn't hack it though, ripping the pads off him after a minute or so, declaring: "That's enough." Imagine if that's how simple it was, eh ladies? Susanna Reid, his long suffering co-host, who is regularly seen cringing at his outlandish tirades, definitely seemed to enjoy it too. Piers admitted: "That cannot be what childbirth is like, really. I can't believe that. Advert 10 "Is that really what childbirth is like? I can't believe that." Deep breaths, Piers, you're at 3cm mate.

That's a start, Piers. Anyway, Good Morning Britain viewers really enjoyed the spectacle, which surely brightened up everyone's dreary Wednesday morning. Brilliant! Was so funny! I was crying! Still chuckling, made my morning!

GMB: Piers Morgan in 'AGONY' as he experiences childbirth pain Good Morning Britain viewers saw Piers Morgan hooked up to a Tens machine this morning, to experience what childbirth feels like for a woman. The gadget which was operated by Stefan, a scientist from the Netherlands, had attached four sticky pads to Piers’ stomach which were connected to the machine. Piers’ co-star Susanna Reid introduced the experiment and said: “You send electrical impulses to those patches. Around the 50-60 mark is similar to the beginning of childbirth, or the first contractions.” And Piers was keen to show his bravado and boosted: “How hard can it be guys? I think I’m about to find out?” It wasn’t long before those watching at home saw him make a series of painful faces, gritting his teeth and having to stand up in order to deal with the pain. Until the monitor reached 60 and he backed out, screaming in agony. The electrical impulses started at 20 and Susanna commented: “This is what it’s like when you first go into labour, and you have to stay at home during this period.” Encouraging Stefan to turn it up, Piers began wincing as the notch turned to 35. As it got to 40, the presenter let out an almighty scream and Susanna asked: “Is it unbearable yet?” “Easy, easy,” Piers replied and Susanna continued: “This is just a contraction.” And he joked: “I’ve got to dig deep and man up!” ITV Good Morning Britain: ‘Agony’ Piers Morgan screams in pain at childbirth simulator Still shouting, he commented: “That’s not even 60!” And Susanna interjected: “Are you going to surrender? Are you giving in?” But Piers did not want to be defeated and looked straight down he camera and said: “Do. Not. Give. In.” As the dial turned to 60, Piers had had enough and stood up pulling the sticky pads of his stomach: “That’s enough!” “How many minutes of contraction did he go through before he stopped?” Susanna enquired. And Piers was eager to tell everyone his thoughts: “That cannot be like childbirth. I can’t believe that.” How painful is childbirth? @piersmorgan finds out the hard way! ������ C'mon Piers!
