A man who wears a nappy every day and has caused controversy for running a nursery for adults has appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show to defend his right to dress up as a baby . Derek Ventham , 52 , and his wife Maxine appeared on the ITV show today to explain how the service they offer - and Derek 's penchant for nappies - is not sexually motivated . Derek said : ' I 'm like any other person , I get up , have breakfast and go to work . I have to wear a nappy all the time as I suffer from incontinence . ' Scroll down for video . Derek Ventham appeared on today 's Jeremy Kyle Show to talk about why he wears nappies . The 52-year-old , pictured wearing a nappy , said dressing up as a baby is not a sexual fetish . He said he wears nappies because he 's incontinent and because he 's 'fascinated ' by them . However Derek admitted he would still wear a nappy if he did n't suffer from incontinence or wet the bed - because it 's something he has done since he was a teenager . He explained : 'This was a liking I 've had since I was seven , a fascination for nappies . It 's not sexual . ' Derek and Maxine now live in Liverpool where they run 'Nursery Thymes ' , a place where adults can regress back to an infant-like state in which they wear nappies , have books read to them and even experience a nappy change . The couple had lived in Portsmouth but were forced to move after they were branded 'perverts ' by their neighbours following Derek 's appearance on Channel 4 documentary The 15-Stone Babies in 2012 . Derek and his wife Maxine , right , run an adult nursery and told Kyle , left , on the show that 'do n't force this on anyone , we keep it private and hidden ' On the show , Derek had explained his love of dressing up and acting like a baby and was filmed having a nappy changed by his wife . He said on the show that people who call him a paedophile and a pervert have got his interest all wrong . He said : 'We do n't want to be with children , we want to be the child . ' Despite his recent TV appearances , Derek told Jeremy Kyle that they do n't 'force this on anyone , we keep it private and hidden ' . Maxine said they should n't be judged for their adult nursery which is used by people from all walks of life . Derek pictured dressed up as a baby on a Channel 4 documentary The 15-Stone Babies in 2012 . He and Maxine had to move from their home in Portsmouth after the show aired because they were receiving abuse . They say business is booming at their adult nursery where customers are charged £75 an hour to play with toys , have nap time in adult-size cribs and dress up in nappies and children 's clothes . There is a £25 surplus charge for a nappy change while staying overnight costs £350 . 'Mummy Maxine ' and 'Daddy Derek ' explain on their website : 'We are nursery-thymes , we have been running our nursery for 14 years . We look after adult babies in our adult sized nursery , we look after you the way you want and cater your stay to the care you want .

'Sitting in the high chair being fed by mummy or having your nappy changed in the big cot , we have lots of cuddly toys to play with , come along and relax in a warm friendly atmosphere , let us make your dreams come true . You must be over 18 too visit our nursery . ' The couple say their clients come from all walks of life and some like to pretend to be a baby to get away from the stresses of everyday life . For others , the regression is a chance to deal with past childhood traumas . Maxine told Kyle : 'There is a stigma about what we do and people have an opinion and think you are a pervert . 'We are normal working people who happen to like to dress in a certain way , each to their own . '
