He said: "Within 5 to 10 minutes of me having told them, there was a lot of references from my father about how I was siring him with an illegitimate heir.
"And I was like wow that’s going to be the next three or four months of my life.";

A close source told The Sun: “They are ecstatic to be expecting and the baby will be very lucky to have them as parents.
“Roxy has already started getting things ready, she has been buying little clothes for the baby and cannot wait to be a mum.
“Jack is a little more nervous, like most first time dads are, but he knows that Roxy will be an incredible mother so feels like they are in safe hands!
“They already have their dog Coco so the baby will be making them a family of four. They are great together and make a brilliant team, so parenthood will be no different.
“Their family are over the moon. They are putting a bit of pressure on Jack to pop the question now that Roxy is going to have his baby, but so far he has put it off.
“We will wait and see - but it may not be long until she has a ring on her finger as well.”
