A father of 12 being evicted from his home after complaints of noisy sex sessions today said, "I'm only human".

Trent Budgen, now afraid he will end up sleeping on the streets, claimed it was ridiculous to say he had been disturbing neighbours on the quiet residential street with his bedroom antics.

The 41-year-old said: "It's been said that I was keeping people up by having sex every night. Obviously I'm a man, but from what they've been saying you would think I was superhuman."

He added: "It's ridiculous. The complaints about our sex life were embarrassing to listen to in front of a room full of people."

Croydon Council said Budgen, who has lived in his Winifred Road house since 1991, was having loud and lewd sex sessions with partner Kirsty Geary which could be heard on the other side of the road.

During a hearing at Croydon County Court the council claimed neighbours in the quiet Coulsdon street feared venturing into their own gardens because of drunken rows and foul language.

District judge Sarah Fink ruled in favour of the local authority and threw out Bugden's application to stop the council evicting him.

Bugden, who has split with his partner after the eviction order, denies the pair engaged in loud arguments. And he fears if he's thrown out his children, who are aged from one to 24 and do not live with him, will no longer be able to visit.

"Perhaps one time a door slammed because all the windows were open. But we weren't arguing all the time."

He added: "I've got nowhere to go. I don't know what I'll do. I'll have to live on the streets. I don't know how the Government can say they are helping house people when they are evicting me.

"I'm not a horrible, rude and nasty neighbour."

Unemployed Budgen says he expects to be out of his house in the next ten days.

One of Budgen's neighbours, who did not want to be named, said she was very pleased with the eviction result.

Councillor Alison Butler, cabinet member for housing, said: "Having to live near this couple must have been an absolute nightmare that no one should have to endure.

"Their selfish antics have made their neighbours' lives a misery and despite repeated warnings that he risked losing his home the tenant failed to curb his and his partner's antisocial behaviour.

"I would like to praise the long-suffering neighbour whose evidence helped the council take action against the problem."

She said she hoped the case would warn residents who behave with scant regard for their neighbours that the council can and will take action which could result in them losing their home.
