You'd do anything you could for your best friends, right? Would that extend to donating sperm to them if they were struggling to have a baby, or being okay with your partner doing that? One woman was left seriously concerned and said she almost felt 'jealous' when her fiancé admitted that he wanted to donate his sperm to help his pal have a baby of her own - but his wife-to-be saw issues with the plan.

Kirsty, 33, appealed for advice to KISS FM presenters Kyle and Jackie O, stating that her 'future happiness' was on the line. Kirsty explained she and her fiancé James, 34, had been engaged for six months, and one day, they planned on having a family of their own.

But when James' friend Michelle had asked him to become a sperm donor for her, Kirsty's thoughts went into overdrive as she was concerned that when the baby was born, James and his parents would want to be a part of the baby's life - which may make things complicated.

Kirsty was concerned that the birth of the baby, if James were to donate his sperm, would 'steal her thunder' - especially if they didn't end up having children of their own.

"They say it is just sperm but once it becomes a real human how is he going to behave?", she asked. "I almost feel jealous. James doesn't think it is a big deal and would do anything to help a friend. He asked what if it was us in this situation and we needed help to have a baby."

'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'

The justification Michelle used to convince James is that the cost of a sperm bank would be too much, and Michelle 'wants to do it with him because he is a nice guy'.

Callers rang in to offer their advice on the situation, with some warning Kirsty to advise him not to get involved as they had bad experiences themselves. "It will cause problems down the line. He will run back to the kid", someone argued.

But another had a much darker suspicion, saying: "I reckon she is already pregnant, they slept together, so he is trying to make her feel guilty so they can do it now."
