Following Jeremy McConnell’s drastic actions earlier today which saw him take a DNA test live on This Morning to try prove the paternity of Stephanie Davis’ child, the new-mum has lashed out.
Stephanie is said to be deeply upset, as throughout the entire pregnancy Jeremy has denied that he’s the father of the child, but has now gone back on those claims.
She has been adamant all along that he’s the father, however did agree to his previous plea of a DNA test, once they were done in private.
The fact Jeremy has tried to so publicly conduct the paternity test, has hurt the CBB star.
A statement released on Stephanie’s behalf reads, “Stephanie has felt humiliated by Jeremy denying his own son and foolishly announcing publicly his request for a DNA test.
“Jeremy has caused Stephanie massive amounts of stress, pressure and upset throughout her pregnancy, ruining for what most women, is one of the most special times of their lives.
“Jeremy has at no point throughout the pregnancy or after the birth been in contact directly with Stephanie, Jeremy was categorically not banned from the birth, nor did he ever ask to attend.”
It continues, “Jeremy has been given the option at all times to take part in a DNA test, because of past behaviour Stephanie has requested that this is handled via the correct channels and managed by her solicitor.
“Jeremy to date has continually refused the terms of the agreement that Stephanie has proposed, which he was given the right to make his own amendments to suit him. This confidentiality agreement was made to ensure privacy and protect Caben-Albi.
“It is upsetting to think that Jeremy would stoop so low to challenge the mother of his child to a DNA test live on tv when it was already in hand. This shows how little concern he has for Caben and this is already being dealt with privately.”
