Jeremy said in an exclusive statement to the Sun Online soon after news of the birth broke: "I am delighted that Steph has safely had the baby, of course if he is my son I will absolutely step up and do what I can to support him.
"Any timescale for that is in Steph's hands now.

"I did reach out to her some weeks ago but didn't hear back."
