A man who fathered 22 kids by 14 different women  - eaing himself the title 'America's biggest deadbeat dad' - is to get his own reality TV show.

It comes after unemployed Orlando Shaw, 33, was filmed boasting outside a Nashville courthouse following a child support hearing, 'the ladies don't like me, they love me.'

The interview, recorded by Nashville’s NewsChannel, has since gone viral. It has been estimated that the state of Tennessee pays around $7,000 each month to help support Shaw’s children.

He was filmed following a court hearing in which some of his former lovers - and mothers to his children - were demanding that he pay tens of thousands of dollars in back child support, Inquisitr.com reports.

Magistrate Scott Rosenberg said that the 33-year-old dad would have to work three of four full-time jobs to come up with the unpaid child support he owes.

However, Shaw said that his criminal record makes it difficult for him to land a stable, well-paying job.

‘I play the hell out of the Tennessee lottery,’ he boasted. ‘I don’t block my blessings.'

Shaw described himself as a good father, but said that he is currently unable to pay child support.

However, NewsChannel 5 has reported that Shaw has been receiving calls from Hollywood agents, and has recently signed a production deal for a reality show. He said any money he makes on the show will be spent on his children.

It has also been revealed that the 33 -year-old is soon to become a grandfather, after his 16-year-old daughter announced she is pregnant.

However it seems he is not altogether pleased at the prospect.

He said: 'I have babies for her. If she wanted a baby, daddy has plenty for us.'
