Eyal's brother Tal, 24, appeared on ITV's  Lorraine today and revealed it was uncomfortable viewing for the Booker family, from Bushey in North London.

He said: "Before he went in it was something we all discussed and came to terms with.

"So it doesn't come as a huge shock.

"Obviously it is difficult in some aspects for my parents to see."

He also had misgivings about Eyal going on the show and had a word with his brother beforehand.

Tal told host Lorraine Kelly: "I discussed my reservations with him and I think he understood that...

"He's very much being himself and you're always going to get people who don't like someone.

"I'm very proud of how how he has carried himself and how he has treated everyone."

Tal previously revealed to The Sun Online that his younger brother Eyal, 22, told his family that he would not do the deed on telly.

He also told us that having sex with Megan means Eyal must have "real feelings" for the glamour model.

Tal told The Sun Online: “As far as I am concerned that was never his intention to go on TV and sleep with someone.

"Because it did happen, it proves to me that his feelings towards Megan are real.

“He really does have a connection with her because he’s very much a private person when it comes to things like that but I think he found himself in a situation with Megan that he really does like her and that it did just happen.

"He would almost forget about it being on TV.

"It just happened because that would happen in real life.”
