The mother of a self-proclaimed '10 out of 10' has claimed he has 'only had two girlfriends' despite him claiming to be 'God's gift to women'.

Jackie Blanchard, 53, a mother-of-six, described her youngest son Michael as a 'football crazy lad' but said she would be 'very sad if he had been disrespecting women.'

Mr Blanchard, who has now been banned for life from dating app Bumble, apologised to Samantha Drain, 23, this week after telling her that she was a 'five or six out of ten'.

The graduate from the British School of Osteopathy in London then sent her a photograph of another woman and said she should aspire to look like her.

Bumble banned him for life with the dating app saying 'small minded, sexist, shallow people aren't welcome in a progressive society anymore.'

Speaking on the doorstep of the family home in London Colney, Hertfordshire, Mrs Blanchard dismissed her son's claims of being a womaniser.

She told Mail: 'Michael might say he is God's gift to women but he has only had two girlfriends.'

He is more of a blokey, bloke really. He is more of a lad. He is not really that interested in women.

'I would hate to think that he is bullying anyone.'

He is the youngest of six. He is the bottom of the pile. He didn't get away with a lot as a kid, as we'd have all jumped on him.'

He does have a good sense of justice, and a good sense of right and wrong. So I would be very sad if he had been disrespecting women. He has four sisters.'

I hope we are not going to have lots of girls throwing tomatoes at our door.

She added: 'Michael doesn't even allow me to be his Facebook friend...that's how secretive he is. So it's very interesting that he has been using an online dating thing.'

He gets up to things that he knows I won't like. So that's why I'm not allowed to be his Facebook friend. He won't give me his mobile phone number – he phones me.'

He has this group of mates. And whenever he goes out with them there seems to be trouble.'

Mrs Blanchard told Mail: 'He is not a bad lad, but he is a bit crazy. When he goes on holiday there's always an accident.'

Mike is a gymster, he likes to go to the gym. He is football crazy. He likes watching those reality TV shows like Love Island.'

'He is training to be an osteopath in London. But he commutes in from home because its cheaper.'

'He has always been different from my other children. He never complied. He was the only one who got in trouble in school.'

But he is always kind to his mum. We have four girls and a boy at either end.

'He is 24. We all look after him by stealth. He doesn't know we are all looking out for him.'
