article: Jobless Keith MacDonald (pictured) has sired a massive brood with at least ten mothers - and is said to have already cost the taxpayer over £2m . The man dubbed 'Britain's most feckless father' after having 15 children by the age of 30 is back on the market after he split from his most recent pregnant girlfriend. Jobless Keith MacDonald, 29, from Sunderland in Tyne and Wear, has sired a massive brood with at least ten mothers - and is estimated to cost the taxpayer over £2million. He was set to become a father for the sixteenth time but has revealed he's split from the unborn child's mother. MacDonald, of County Durham, says he's back on the dating market - and the baby in question is not actually his. He said: 'There is no baby - it's not mine and I'm single now.' MacDonald, who has appeared on Jeremy Kyle, says he gets most of his women by chatting them up on the bus. In the past, he bragged: 'It's easy - they never seem to say no. Just chat them up on the bus. I just pick them up like that. 'That's what I do and they never seem to say no. If they like you, they like you. Get their number and text them and arrange to meet when you come off the bus.' Last month he caused a stir when he appeared on Channel 5 documentary 40 Kids by 20 Women. MacDonald told the programme he can't find work, partly because he is 'no good at listening', and spends most of him time playing computer games. Scroll down for video . He says he finds it hard to meet new women because of his reputation in Sunderland and is shown in the programme going to Birmingham to 'pull girls'. MacDonald hit the headlines in 2011 when he tried to fake his own death in a bid to shirk responsibility for his ninth child.

In November 2012, he was found guilty by Sunderland magistrates of common assault and stealing from one of his ex-partners after a row over a cheese toastie. The binman's son was desperate to avoid paying out any more than the £5 a week he was putting towards each of his other children. Keith MacDonald: . - Unemployed . - Reportedly receives incapacity benefit for bad back of up £68.95 a week and £44 income support . - Said to contribute just £5 of his weekly income to his children . - The total benefit bill racked up by him and his offspring has been estimated at £2million from birth to 18 . He pretended to be one of his friends and sent a text message to his pregnant former girlfriend Clare Bryant, 22, telling her: 'Keith is dead.' Miss Bryant, who already had a one-year-old daughter by MacDonald, rang his mobile phone, but there was no answer. She then called the local hospitals and the police, but to no avail. Two weeks passed before Miss Bryant found out that 25-year-old MacDonald was, in fact, alive and well. He sent her a message to apologise and told her that he wanted to 'get away from his life'. He refuses to use contraception and had fathered six children by the time he turned 20 - including two he claims were conceived on double-decker buses. In 2008 he bragged: 'It's not my fault - I thought they were all on the pill. Lasses keep on coming up to me.' Macdonald first became a father at 15 as he left school and has rarely worked since saying he finds it boring. He has previously claimed incapacity allowance for a 'bad back'. MacDonald was just one of several feckless fathers to gain infamy after appearing in 40 Kids by 20 Women. Michael Holpin, a 56-year-old unemployed alcoholic from Ebbw Vale, South Wales, became an unlikely TV star after appearing in the documentary. He claims to have 40 children by 20 women - and says while he would not recognise many of his offspring in the street, he wants more. Now engaged again, the three-times married man keeps track of their names with an ever-growing family tree tattooed on his back. In 2012 MacDonald was found guilty of common assault and stealing after a row over a cheese toastie .
