He made the admission as he hit back at one of Steph's fans who accused him of using her child's birth as means to raise his profile.

In an expletive-filled tweet he said: "Steph isn't going favourite your tweet you beggy ugly f****** mug! I've spoke to Steph you ugly C***"

Today The Sun revealed the former Love Island champ's fear that Stephanie Davis’s newborn baby could be his.

X-rated footage of the pair fooling around in bed emerged online last May.

The footage showed him naked and flashing his penis as Steph lies next to him laughing.

However, Stephanie claimed she was already pregnant when it was filmed, and that the baby's dad is her ex, Irish Instagram model Jeremy McConnell.

Josh admitted his concerns that Steph could turn up on his doorstep with her tot, who she welcomed last Friday.

After speaking on Dan Wootton’s Facebook live on Monday afternoon, Joshua revealed: “I slept with Steph nearly a year ago.

“I’m worried – she could be turning up on my doorstep with the baby any time soon.”

His admission that he had been in contact with the actress is sure to leave fans asking if they had been speaking about possible paternity tests.

Sources close to Jeremy, 26, have claimed that his attempts to reach out to Steph - who he repeatedly cheated on during their short six month relationship - have been ignored.

Shortly after the birth he tweeted that he would step up and be a good dad if the child is his.

Jeremy said in an exclusive statement to the Sun Online today: “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.”

Reps for Joshua Ritchie and Stephanie Davis have been approached for comment.
