Gwyneth then confessed how she was red-faced when her pre-teens were taught “everything” about sex.
She added: “I will never forget Apple and her best friend Emily sitting at our kitchen banquet in shock, the colour drained from their face.
“They taught them everything. Everything. Anything you’re thinking, they taught the 11-12-year-olds. They’re like, ‘Do people do this?’”
