Jeremy McConnell has insisted his ex Stephanie Davis is not pregnant with his child and has even called for a DNA test if she gives birth to prove she is lying.
The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant called Stephanie's claims 'ridiculous,' and added she would look like a 'mug' when it is revealed any child is not his after a paternity test, Ireland's TV Now Magazine reports.
Following a bitter war of words between the former couple last week, the 26-year-old again said: 'I'm not going to be a dad. If she is pregnant, it's not mine.
'If I was a dad, I'd be 100% no, 110%, the best dad in the world. But you'll see in the future that it's not my kid, and she'll look like a mug,' he added.
A representative for Stephanie said in a statement to MailOnline: 'Our client is categorically pregnant. We do not need to continue repeating this.'
Despite their strained relationship, Jeremy showed he still cared for the former Hollyoaks actress and dismissed her behaviour as a tactic to secure media coverage.
They're so concerned with responding to one another in the press as if it's any of our business.
Both of them need some serious parental control. Neither of them are mature enough, nor are they behaving in a manner that any child would be benefiting from them as role models.
Baby hasn't even been born yet and it's being spoken of so carelessly. Shameful.
