Jeremy appeared on This Morning to take a DNA test
Last updated 8th Feb 2017
Jeremy McConnell shocked viewers earlier today when he appeared on This Morning to take a live DNA test, and now Stephanie Davis has hit back.
After seeing her ex-boyfriend appear on the show and tell viewers he wants the matter 'sorted', Stephanie's representatives released a statement via her Twitter account.
It 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 a massive amount of stress, pressure and upset her throughout her pregnancy, ruining what for 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.
"Stephanie confirmed to Jeremy that she was pregnant 10 days after they split, any suggestion that she was unfaithful to him is to detract away from his numerous infidelities whilst in the relationship.
"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 then goes on to say, "Stephanie as a single mother reserves the right to undertake any work she sees fit to provide for their son, her priority.
"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.
"Caben and Stephanie have only been out of hospital for a few weeks, however after spending 9 months denying that he is the babies father, we cannot believe Jeremy has the audacity to turn the situation around and bring all of this very much into a media circus, on his terms only. "
Appearing on This Morning with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, Jeremy said this was the last time he would talk about the situation and revealed it was 'very upsetting'.
He said, "It shouldn't be done like this, but it has to be dealt with when something is so public. It's upsetting, I just want it sorted."
When Phillip asked the model if he would like to be the dad, Jeremy replied, "Yeah of course, I'll step up to the plate."
Footage of Jeremy undergoing a DNA test was then showed to viewers.

As the saga between these two rolls on, we hope they can finally work it out for the sake of little Caben-Albi George.
